You may feel a little uncomfortable in the first days after the balloon is inserted. Some patients may feel nauseous with food intake. There may be occasional episodes of vomiting. After the first week, these complaints go away. In the first week, the feeling of hunger is suppressed. In the second week, the feeling of hunger gradually returns, but satiety is felt with less food. Between 3-6 weeks, your stomach will fully adapt to the balloon and you will be able to consume more food. In this process, you should try to correct your eating habits. You should not eat fast, you should stop eating when a feeling of fullness occurs. During this period, if you experience symptoms such as nausea and hiccups after meals, this indicates that you ate too much or too quickly. Lifestyle changes (exercise and proper eating habits) are extremely important for your continued weight loss in the following weeks.
