How to live with the balloon

While the patient may go home after a few hours, we recommend staying overnight as unfortunately the first night after balloon placement can be unpleasant with strong nausea and vomiting. If the patient stays in hospital, we can help him/her with injections of nausea-reducing drugs or intravenous infusion of saline for rehydration.

In most cases these effects diminish gradually over 3-4 days. The patient is advised to take drugs such as omeprazole to reduce stomach acid. A strict diet is not essential during balloon treatment, but best results are achieved with a daily caloric intake of 1000-1500 kcal.
