Anyone have gastric balloon removed prior to 6 months?

Has anyone had their gastric balloon removed early? I've had mine for only a week, but reading comments from everyone, I'm not sure how you went back to work and were still quite nauseated for the 1st 4 - 6 weeks. Many of you have stated you finally felt better about 6 weeks in. Let me know your thoughts!

    They said I started to vomit during the procedure so they put a tube in my nose and maybe that's why it's so sore! I felt a little cramping and spasms today so I filled the script Hyoscyamine they gave me.

    Good grief. Sorry to hear that. :-( Hope it passes soon!!

    I had a sore throat for several days after my ReShape balloon was inserted. YMMV
