Well, I have survived to tell the tale of gastric ballons. The first two days were spent "What the hell was I thinking?" The nausea was gone on day three and I started adding some solids today. I do get some cramping if I drink too much. I don't feel hungry, just weak and shakey. I think this will get better as I am able to add more food. I do feel isolated as this procedure is not offered in the united states and I went to mexico to have it done. I am worried about what to do if i have any problems. it is good to have othere people to talk to about this. thank you for your support.
