Mine has methylene blue in it. They do this bc if it leaks then you will See a green color in your urine. It's a safe way to see that. I thought that was standard. also mine was Only filled to 550

I am getting my balloon out on Wednesday. It's been in for almost 3 months and hasn't done anything except make me feel bloated and gassy. Not 1 pound gone. Total rip off. They are giving me 2 grand back for the balloon at least. I'm very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this to anyone who only wants to lose 30 pounds. Maybe it works for people that need to lose more. To me it's another scam. As you can tell I am Pretty upset. They also put me on phentermine and that didn't do anything either. They are trying one more drug and the I am calling it quits.

I'm glad you all have had success. I have had the balloon in 9 weeks and seen no weight loss. Maybe 1-2 pounds and then back Up. They put me on phentermine and that was 10 days ago. Still haven't seen much with that either. My body is stubborn apparently. I am thinking about getting the balloon removed since it isn't working.

I have been on 15 mg for a week and today went up to 30. My appetite has decreased some but it's suppose to really work on this dose. We shall see

My BMI is a 30 and the balloon isn't working because I don't think they filled it up enough or my body just is resisting it. I can eat almost as much as before. Putting me on a a 900 calorie restricted diet with a a balloon isn't making sense since the balloon should just make me eat that much anyway Also I don't drink my calories. No soda or juice

Yes of course I have done calorie restriction at like 900 calories a day and exercise (although I am not as good at that part, exercise). I don't qualify for bariatric surgery and this intragastric balloon didn't do anything and I paid 7100 for it. clearly I'm not happy

How many milligrams were you all on when you lost the weight? I'm on 15 right now and moving up to 30 in 2 weeks. Started it yesterday and haven't noticed anything yet including side effects

My surgeon prescribed it. It's very regulated. I would never take anything without it being legal and regulated. I actually had the intragstric balloon surgery almost 7 weeks ago and haven't lost a pound. I want to lose 30 pounds. I weigh 180 and want to be about 145-150. They put me on this meds along with the balloon. I'm hoping for something

I started on phentermine medication yesterday to lose weight. Anyone had experience with this? Thanks!

I started on phentermine today since I've had the balloon for 6.5 weeks and lost nothing. I'm be nervous about the meds but we shall see

20 pounds in how many months? Half a dose? So does it make you not hungry?

Has anyone taken prescribed weight loss medicine? If so what and did it work?

No she didn't say that at all. Let me tell you I'm not very nice when I'm in there lol. I will ask when I see her again or I will call about that. Thanks for asking!

Yes I had my doctor appt yesterday and was not happy to say the least. They put me on a very strict diet. Basically I don't have many options and it's about 900 calories. Which I was eating only around 1000 anyway. In 2 weeks if there is still no chance they will put me on weight loss medicine. So frustrating not to see any weight loss.

It's been 1 month since I got the balloon and still have only seen like a 2-3 pound weight loss. Very disappointing. Not a happy camper at all! I have about 30 pounds to lose and I really thought this would work. I know I'm not eating as much as I use too and it's very discouraging. Going to the doctor this week! Hoping for something
