wanted to see if people have had similar experiences to me when they have had the gastric balloon inserted. Had it put in 5 days ago, horrible feeling first few days, some stomach cramping and throwing up 3 / 4 timers a day for first 2 days. Day 5 now, can feel my clothes are looser = good, but also starting to get hungry - still on liquids and wont go onto proper food until 10 days or so, but worried not doing the job of not making me hungry - anyone else have this issue

Based on my research when I was considering WLS, the balloon isn't supposed to not make you hungry or help you control your appetite. What it does is create a situation where you cannot eat more than a very small amount at a time - in other words FORCING you to practice portion control.

You still have to learn to eat properly and learn how to manage hunger and munchies.
