This is why i started these topics here... Alternatives to changing your stomach through surgery. Read these topics and u will find the new ideas. Don't forget weight loss medications. If u live near a u.s. hospital or center doing the endobarrier trials u can have one probably for free. Let me know here what u find in your research. There are mexican docs that do the gastric balloon now, some overpriced for now. Please post here your discoveries.

I would love to find out more about this procedure.

Here's a little info about the Obalon balloon.....

http://www.obalon.com

They've been doing them in the UK and Mexico for about a year. The surgeon who did my VSG was actually featured on ABC Nightline in a story about the balloon procedure. And I think I read somewhere that they are starting US trials. The problem I see with this procedure is that the balloon is only left in for 2 months. You would probably lose weight, but then you are right back where you started when they remove it. Not sure how this is different than any other "diet".

For the Obalon and POSE procedure and gastric balloons procedures, you can do it in Dubai: contact Dr Tarek Saleh who is a world expert in these procedures: www.salehclinic.com

Dubai is a a rather long and expensive trip trip. Anyone recommend a surgeon in Mexico for the POSE procedure?
