What is that

I had something called a Spatz balloon back in 2018. It’s a surgical but non-permanent solution which involves inflating a balloon in your stomach to reduce capacity and make you feel fuller (helping you gain control of your eating).

I had mine for a year and lost over 4 stone, it gave me the ability to rethink portion sizes and the types of foods I was eating. Sadly however since then I’ve put all the weight back on and been through 2 other weight loss cycles of dieting etc. So the non-permanent part was definitely accurate.

During consultation they did try to talk me into more permanent solutions but I don’t feel that the side affect’s where necessary for me at the time.

Are you looking to have something in the future or are you already on your journey? 😊
