Ive only got 3 weeks left but wish I could keep it forever. I’ve lost 3 stone in 13 weeks - the sickness was awful for the First month and the heartburn has been crippling. That said the more weight I lost the easier the heartburn became and now I’m worried that I will go back to my old ways - I really hope not.. good luck to you and let us know how you get on

Thanks so much for replying -that is brilliant 3 stone! So you had the allurion balloon ? I was thinking maybe 6 months just because it would give me longer to adapt.

Yes I had Allurion and aas far as I know it’s only 4 months which is a shame - I’d,love it for longer now. The first month is tough though but that is when the weight falls off. Good luck and keep me posted 👍

Hi everyone, I had the balloon fitted 5 days ago. Like everyone else here, the experience so far has been pretty grim. My main issues have been dehydration and severe nausea. Dehydration simply because for the first 3 days I couldn't even keep Water down. Omeprazol has definitely helped with the heartburn. I am now looking forward to the journey. Good luck everyone🙂

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
