If you’re looking for a way to lose weight without undergoing gastric surgery, you may want to consider an intra gastric balloon.

Gastric ballooning is a common procedure in Europe to help people lose weight. Having a gastric balloon inserted is not only an incision-free procedure, but it is reversible as well. The balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth and then filled with liquid. It sits in the stomach and decreases the appetite because it occupies approximately one-third of the stomach cavity, in addition to slowing down stomach emptying.

Alarming Study Projects 42% Obesity Rate by 2050
Researchers have been encouraged that the obesity rate has stabilized at 34% over the past 5 years. The number of overweight and obese individuals has also remained steady at just under 70% for the same period. New research released in the journal PLoS Computational Biology uses statistical projections from the Framingham Heart Study to suggest that the upward trend will continue over the next 40 years to peak at 42% of men, women and children registering as clinically obese.

A heartfelt post from someone who has apparently struggled with trying to lose weight, and using food for comfort.

Hudson says, “My mind hasn’t caught up yet. I’ve always been a person who’s comfortable with myself whether it’s plus-size, small size it doesn’t matter.”

Her weight loss journey took about 6-8 months.

Watch her interview from the Regis And Kelly television show shot on Oct, 4, 2010.

Ms. Hudson says that people hardly recognize her now after her weight loss.
Previously a size 16, Hudson says, “I go into the store and they try to put me in 4s and 6s and I’m like [she looks over both shoulders] ‘Who are you trying to talk to?’”

“I didn’t expect to go as far as I did,” explains Hudson.
