Have anyone had the Intragastric Balloon

Today was the first time I have heard of this procedure. I am having the gastric sleeve and I just wanted to know about all my options before I finalize my decision. I just wanted to know people experience with this for curiosity.

The surgeon that I originally started with in nj offered to put me in a clinical trial..I would have been paid about 2k total for dealing with it for 6 months and doing all of the followup.  It made no sense to me. The thing is removed after 6 months..you stomach hasn't changed..He said that the main side effect is that people were feeling seasick..its literally a rubber/plastic ball filled with water!

silly invention as far as I am concerned!


I love my sleeve..ended up going to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali..would'nt change a thing
