Does anyone have any experience with these?
After lockdown and with menopause my weight has become not just an issue about looks but medically. I struggle to 'eat properly'. I've lost weight and then gained it back twice as fast. I will admit I'm looking for a quick fix. I've seen a balloon that you can get without surgery which is very appealing but would like to know if anyone else has had an experience with this sort of weight loss.

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm very interested in this but want to hear people's experiences with them.

A close relative had one- she lost about 4 stone but didn’t really engage with the therapy/knowledge side of it much (which I thought was daft at the time after spending all that money!) After the balloon came out her eating returned to normal and her weight returned to what is was. She got alot of wind and felt sick quite often.
