Gastric Balloon in Prague - Looking for info and for shared info on yr experience

[cute71usa]

Hello there!

I am having a gastric Balloon inserted at the end of April and I must say that I am nervous. I will be travelling to Prague to have the procedure done... which makes me even more nervous.

I read so much here... positive and negative feedback as well as extremely good results and disappointing ones.

I am embarrassed to say but I weigh 111.7 kilos and would like to lose 50 kilos... or at least one day - perhaps 30 kilos while with the balloon during the next 6 months.

How was it for you?

How much did you lose on the first week / month? Total loss during the 6 months?

What do you believe that can help during the 6 months ahead?

How often did you exercise? What did you eat?

I would like to hear from you, before and after. Your experiences... I need motivation!!! Please!

I would also like to have a buddy (or several), someone who's about to have the balloon inserted, so we can share our experiences and motivate eachother.

Many thanks for all your replies.

hello

I to am going to Prague at the end of next week to have mine fitted. Our starting weight is about the same as well so I don't know if you want to compar notes on the journey.

How are you doing now and how is the weight loss?

Hey,
I am doing great. Will be 2 weeks on Wednesday and so far lost 4.4 kilos... how much do you want or wish to lose?
Any good ideas on how to reach our goal faster?

Well expect changes after surgery, your diet may change. Soft foods are usually recommended. Changes on limited physical activity is also expected. Good luck!
