Question about suit Dr. Edo

To check if the gastric balloon is seated properly, X-rays are taken. Dr. Aarts needs to protect himself from that radiation 👽

Question about liquid food

The first two days it is indeed tea, water and broth! 💧

Question about gastric balloon function

Through Tiktok, I answer several questions asked in response to this gastric balloon journey. Now I was asked what is actually the function of that balloon? I often get this question. Because of the weight of the gastric balloon, you will feel full! 🏋 Not necessarily because of the size.

Question about gastric banding

In consultation with Dr. Edo Aarts, no surgery, but a less "invasive" method of treatment.

Question about swallowing gastric balloon

From pill to water balloon! Through a tube, the gastric balloon is filled when it is in the stomach.

Question about GLP-1 Medication

On the advice of Dr. Edo Aarts a gastric balloon instead of medication for weight loss.

Question about the yo-yo effect

We are going to prevent the yo-yo effect in losing weight with lifestyle counseling!

Question about lifestyle counseling

This is where I answer whether I will receive counseling during the gastric balloon process.

Question about gastric balloon removal

Following my first post, I received a number of questions. Here I answer how the gastric balloon eventually disappears again.
