I am thinking about getting an obalon balloon fitted and wondered if anyone had any experience? It's the new swallowable balloon, minimally invasive. It's £2000 for 1 balloon. Treatment lasts 12 weeks and you can lose around 50% of your excess weight, which is around 2 stone in my case. It seems it's for those who are not morbidly obese but are over BMI 27.
My concern would be the weight going back on rapidly after 12 weeks when it's taken out. Also, it's still very new, and a few people have had ulcers.
I know I can lose 2 stone by diet and exercise and not pay £2000 for a balloon but in 20 years I haven't managed to do it by conventional methods, maybe it's time to try something new.
