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.

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?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
