  1. I truly hope your experience is better than mine. Good luck!
  2. I did do the Obera Obalon. Regardless of how I got them down, the six months of misery I went through following was definitely not worth it.
  3. So what is it you're doing?
  4. Don't do it!!! To swallow that balloon capsule is like swallowing a 6-spot lego. I swallowed two, each time choking and nearly aspirating it. I refused the third because I was so terrified. I had the two in me for a little more than 6 months. I cramped all the time, couldn't brush my teeth without gagging, nausea was with me the entire 6+ months, and I had liquid stools. I'm a stomach sleeper, but could do that either, because could feel them. After eating, I'd have to be near a bathroom, because everything was going to come gushing out within 1/2 hour. Life was miserable. I have never been so sick in my life, and for so long. Yes I lost 15 lbs. but only because everything I ate came right back out. This was the worst and most expensive decision I've ever made. If I can spare 1 person the agony I experienced, it'll be worth it. I read blogs and forums before I did it, I should have heeded the reviews.
