+Sara M oooops, just re-read and saw you are "going to see about". So far, I've been loving it. I always feel in control. I was at a bbq last week and was able to not eat any of the chips and dip and appetizer food they had. Did you decide to do it? I feel it was an investment on my health.
Sara, I hope you're doing well. I had my reshape done on Friday and it was terrible on the way home from the procedure the vomiting started and it was non-stop all day the first two days. I just stopped drinking water and everything else. because my abs were so sore. I went in today and they gave me to IV drips that helped for 4-5 hours I felt great now the pains are back. I can still feel the balloon and its uncomfortable to lay down. I am taking a few more days off work I was scheduled to return tomorrow but I feel too weak. I haven't eaten more than 1/2 jello cup since the day before my procedure. I hope this feeling goes away soon right now I just have buyers remorse. Lady R
Oh! 😞I'm sorry to hear. I had the Orbera which I have one balloon, you have two. Mine was only filled to 500 MLs which was done to help alleviate nausea and vomiting (it can go up to 750ml). I could just imagine how you full you feel with twice the amount. I felt pretty "full" and uncomfortable for a good week. Id say on day 8 that it wasn't as prominent feeling anymore. I hope things get better for you. If you are not able to keep anything down please see your doctor again for more fluids. I didn't even realize how weak I was feeling when I was dehydrated. Plus it can really mess up your electrolytes. Hope it gets better for you. I'll be thinking of you !
+Sara M Yes, I am on Levsin I felt better after the IV fluids that was yesterday I feel so full I can't even drink water. I spend a majority of the day out of it and sleeping. I really hope it gets better soon.thanks for the advise. LadyR
Thank you for sharing this info I am going to check into it! I don't want to throw up :( as I choke when I do. Do you feel the meds really help with that?
I never felt nauseous at all except for maybe two times when I took some pills the first night and it just felt like I wanted to throw up, but I resisted and kept it down. I did take the recommended nausea meds every 4 hours for the first 24 hours though. They made me sleepy so I stopped. I've had no nausea and no vomiting to date. You can watch my other videos for more details but I did every thing that was recommended. Thanks.
it's good they're checking your fluids and got you hydrated. congratulations on your wonderful success and thank you for the videos

How much did you lose?
How are you doing? Questions- what was the cost and would Insurance cover the cost? Thank you!!!! BTW.....you look great!
Thanks! I'm doing great. Cost is between $5-7 depending on your area and doctor. It is not covered by insurance at this time.
+Sara M $5-7k
