How a Stomach Balloon Makes People Lose Weight

The Obalon Balloon System is a temporary non-surgical procedure.

Almost $10, 000 just to lose 15 pounds? That's enough money for 25 years of gym membership.

Oh that looks nice! -reads $6000-$9000-

who needs to lose weight? :)

[nyreelewis]

honestly I feel like you can avoid this procedure by just drinking a full glass of water before each meal like recommended by most doctors I would be too afraid the balloon with Pop or something along those lines

What would happen if you got punched in the stomach?

[potatochip]

$6, 000 to have a balloon placed in your stomach? Seems reasonable.

[mehmudamultani]

I think exercise are best then damn ballon

[juliarhoden]

but think about how the money used for this could be used to feed people who go hungry in this country. It's weird how people now pay to not eat.

[TimothyMark]

it also makes people throw up faster hehehe

I lost 100 pounds in 9 months power-walking.

People don't really get what it's like to have a binge eating problem.
Your stomach can stretch out and it makes it so you can't get full as quickly.
A lot of times I end up eating until I feel ill because of this and impulse control issues. This would be INSANELY helpful to people like me.
If not to lose weight, but to help our stomaches shrink down to normal size.

So basically you do not eat enought but feel like you do? That is not healthy...

People do all kinds of shit to loose weight but never jus exercise and eat healthy! I would never do that firstly the cost of it plus the side affects or if somet goes wrong nah not taking the risk.

[zeke]

And what happenes after? Your stomach will be streched and you will be able to eat way more - you become even fatter

[kristinakyuleva]

Why do I even need the balloons if I still have do diets and exercise?

[jermejustn]

0:08 loved the fact that they said"may"

[NoahCGunn]

How about like.... diet and exercise??

[DavidDiez]

Big concern I have is people will still try to eat closer to what they used to eat in a meal, which could stretch the stomach out more since their stomach is now bigger. Then when the balloons are removed the person will then eat even more. They need to give data on what happens AFTER the balloons are removed, otherwise it's fair to assume this is a scam treatment.

How does the stomach acid note dissolve the balloon?

[ventorix]

How will you get the balloon out though
