gatric balloon fitted 5 days ago - chatters wanted UK

Hi Vanessa,

The only vitamins I'm taking are Evening Primrose Oil tablets coz I was told that would help with my skins elasticity as I lost weight. Other than that I just take the Nexium for the heartburn which luckly I've never suffered from. The doc did give me Buscopan for the cramps which only helped a little, but I'm a very light sleeper an battle to sleep so I took Diasapam which is a mild sedative and muscle relexant which seem to help me so much more with the cramps. I had the Balloon done in May and was meant to have it taken out this month but were only going to South Africa next month so will have it done then. The doc told me that the cramps would last about 2 weeks and that they were because my stomach was trying to get rid of the foreign object combined with hunger pangs. I usually don't eat breakfast I just have a cup of coffee and at lunch time I have a coldmeat sambo or a burger, then for dinner the normal meat and veg etc. This may sound gross but I found that if I over ate I got cramps and it would take to long for me to vomit the food up so I would just make myself vomit and it would take the cramps away. I can't say it's been bliss but also can't say that It's been unbearable, and seeing the results and getting compliments makes it easier too.

Goodluck and hope I've helped.

thank you Drul,

Im feeling a lil better. I am trying not to take the pain killer. the cramps comes and goes. Bonny are you taking any vitamines? how many times a day do you eat? I am not hungry at all but I am trying to have some yogurt or some toast.
The hospital did not tell me about the cramps :-(
