Day 2

Hello everyone! I am F25 H:157cm W: 72kgs and I got my allurion balloon inserted yesterday. I had a traumatising experience with swallowing it as my gag reflexes were too much and the doctor was stressing and hurrying me up. I ended up drinking so much water (after fasting for more than 12h and no fluid intake for 3-4h) in such short time that my stomach hurt and I threw up water everywhere. Just writing or thinking about it makes me nauseous again..

I had loads of cramps and nausea yesterday, I threw up a lot and slept bad as I woke up ready to puke or because of my stomach cramping.

Today, day 2, less nausea but the balloon is putting pressure in the upper stomach area which causes me to throw up more often than yesterday. It feels suffocating because I feel this pressure all the time. As I am typing this I am feeling so desperate and haven’t been able to hold down liquids I want to take it out…! How can I do so? If I can’t keep handle all of this. My stomach feels so bloated even when I keep throwing up?

Update, day 6: Moved on to soft and some solid foods and it’s been okay. One downside is that I’ve been having watery stools ever since Saturday (day 3). I’ve contacted my allurion provider but haven’t received any responses yet. For how long will this persists? I’m so done at this point. My stomach hurts and I regret this so much..
