Life after gastric balloon removal isn’t as scary as some people think. With portion control and a positive attitude, people can effectively lose weight! Keep reading to discover what to expect following removal.
The Breakdown of Gastric Balloons
A gastric balloon is a nonsurgical solution for weight loss. The balloon is a removable device placed inside the stomach. Patients swallow and capsule (the balloon), and then doctors inflate it to reinforce portion control. This weight loss option is simple, non-invasive, and short-term. In fact, the advantage of gastric balloons for weight loss is that they’re temporary. The balloon remains inside the stomach for up to six months. Afterward, patients must follow a healthy, portion-controlled diet to maintain results.
The Removal Procedure
At the six-month mark, doctors remove the gastric balloon from the patient’s stomach. So 24 to 48 hours before the procedure, patients shouldn’t eat food. Additionally, 12 hours before the procedure, patients shouldn’t eat or drink.
Like insertion, the balloon must exit the stomach through the mouth (and food may induce vomiting). During the process, the doctor will deflate the balloon and remove it through the mouth. The entire procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Slight stomach discomfort and nausea may occur, but these symptoms are mild and temporary.
Navigating Life After Gastric Balloon Removal
Life after gastric balloon removal differs for every patient. The stomach capacity returns to its previous size. Without the reinforced portion control tool (gastric balloon), patients can handle bigger meal sizes. However, portion control is still a critical factor for maintaining results. While the balloon is inside the stomach, people typically lose 20 to 50 pounds because they eat less. So it’s important to stick with a calorie deficit to continuously lose weight.
Is Weight Regain Possible?
The stomach capacity returns to its previous size after gastric balloon removal. With the extra room, patients can eat large portions and meals. And without careful monitoring, weight gain is possible. Fortunately, bariatric doctors suggest a weight management program to help patients maintain results or continue progress.
Beneficial Tips
To maintain results and live a healthy lifestyle, it’s essential to pre-portion healthy meals. This prevents you from eating too much (or too little). Staying hydrated and drinking water is also important throughout the day because water prevents dehydration and stomach cramps. For additional help, patients can join weight loss groups to connect with people and learn tips for post-gastric balloon life!
Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on Human Rights Day 2022 (10 December 2022).
"The world is facing unprecedented and interlocking challenges to human rights.
Hunger and poverty are increasing – an affront to the economic and social rights of hundreds of millions of people.
Civic space is shrinking.
Media freedom and the safety of journalists are in dangerous decline in almost every region of the world.
Trust in institutions is evaporating, especially among young people.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased levels of violence against women and girls.
Racism, intolerance and discrimination are running rampant.
New human rights challenges are emerging from the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.
And we are only beginning to grasp the threat posed to human rights by some new technologies.
These trying times call for a reignition of our commitment to all human rights - civil, cultural, economic, political and social.
The Call to Action I launched in 2020 positions human rights at the centre of solutions to the challenges we face.
This vision is reflected in my report on Our Common Agenda, which calls for a renewed social contract, anchored in human rights.
The 75th anniversary of the landmark Universal Declaration on Human Rights next year must be an opportunity for action.
I urge Member States, civil society, the private sector and others to put human rights at the heart of efforts to reverse today’s damaging trends.
Human rights are the foundation for human dignity, and the cornerstone of peaceful, inclusive, fair, equal and prosperous societies.
They are a unifying force and a rallying cry.
They reflect the most fundamental thing we share – our common humanity.
On this Human Rights Day, we reaffirm the universality and indivisibility of all rights, as we stand up for human rights for all".

United Nations Video: Setting Goals to Stop Destruction of Nature - United Nations Biodiversity Conference Opening #COP15
The UN’s key biodiversity conference, COP15, began on Tuesday in Montreal, Canada, where negotiators will set new targets and goals aimed at arresting the alarming destruction of nature, due by human activity.
The conference is being billed as a major biodiversity COP, because it is expected to lead to the adoption of a new Global Biodiversity Framework, guiding actions worldwide through 2030, to preserve and protect our natural resources.
The urgent need for action was underscored by UN Secretary-General António Guterres during his opening remarks to the conference on Tuesday.
Noting that “without nature, we are nothing”, Mr. Guterres declared that humanity has, for hundred of years “conducted a cacophony of chaos, played with instruments of destruction”.
The UN chief catalogued examples of this destruction, from deforestation and desertification; to the poisoning of the environment by chemicals and pesticides, which is degrading land, making it harder to feed the growing global population.
He pointed also to the degradation of the Ocean, which is accelerating the destruction of life-sustaining coral reefs and other marine ecosystems - directly affecting those communities that depend on the ocean for their livelihoods.

UKRAINE
Turning to Ukraine. Our humanitarian colleagues there telling us that the offices of at least two humanitarian non-governmental organizations were hit during attacks on the city of Donetsk, in the part of the country currently under Russian control. These incidents took place on the 5th and 6th of December, and one of the buildings was hit twice, on two consecutive days, that’s according to aid workers in Donetsk.
Our humanitarian colleagues note that the attacks not only damaged the facilities, normally used for aid distribution, but also the vehicles of the organizations which were parked there. Aid workers were on site and preparing packages of aid for distribution when the buildings were hit. There were no casualties inside the buildings, but outside the attacks resulted in the death of at least one civilian and left another injured.
Our colleagues stress that International Humanitarian Law is clear that attacks must never target civilians or civilian infrastructure and constant care must be taken to spare them.
YEMEN
The Director of the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), Ilene Cohn, concluded a week-long visit to Yemen, where she visited as you know Hudaydah, one of the most mine-affected governorates in Yemen.
At a press conference today, she reiterated the urgency of accelerating mine action efforts and stressed the responsibility of the authorities to protect the civilian population. She reiterated the calls by the UN Security Council last month for all possible precautions to be taken to protect the civilian population of Yemen from explosive ordnance, including identifying, marking, and clearing dangerous areas.
ROHINGYA REFUGEES
We want to echo here a call by our colleagues in Geneva, the UN Refugee Agency today is urging countries in the region of the Adaman Sea to immediately rescue and safely disembark a group of about 200 Rohingya refugees in distress, reported to be drifting in a vessel off the coast of Thailand.
Reports suggest the boat has been adrift since 1 December, after its engines broke down. Those on board have been without food and water for days and are suffering extreme dehydration.
UNHCR said that in line with international obligations under the Law of the Sea and longstanding maritime traditions, the duty to rescue persons in distress at sea should be upheld, irrespective of nationality or legal status.

United Nations Video: Youth Environmental Activists with UN chief at #COP15 #shorts
"I'm always inspired by young environmental activists fighting to protect people & planet."
- Antonio Guterres says the leadership of youth in efforts to end the war against nature gives him hope at UN Biodiversity Conference #COP15.
-----
Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday denounced the existing global financial system as “morally bankrupt” and called on youth leaders gathered for a UN summit in Montreal, Canada, to push for justice so that all countries, especially in the developing world, have the tools needed to curb biodiversity loss and restore the balance between humans and nature.
“Beyond biodiversity, beyond climate, there is a central question in the world today and that is justice. We live in a system in which both the economic rules and the financial architecture are morally bankrupt,” the UN chief told a side event organized by the Global Youth Biodiversity Network and other youth groups, ahead of the official opening of COP15, the latest edition of the UN Biodiversity Conference.
This COP, the Fifteenth Conference of Parties to the UN Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), runs through 19 December and is expected to see the adoption of a post-2020 roadmap for the conservation, protection, restoration and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems for the next decade.
“Your leadership [in tackling], the war against nature” the Secretary-General told the youth representatives, “is the best signal of hope that this battle is worth fighting and that we have a chance to win. The youth are on the frontline of the battle to rescue humankind... mobilizing even when governments are reluctant to take the situation seriously.”
The world’s young people are making civil society and the business community understand that this is the moment to reverse course, he stated, adding: “This is the moment to make peace with nature. This is the moment to consider that biodiversity and climate are the two defining issues of our time and these are two battles we cannot afford to lose.”

The US is entering a legal battle with Microsoft, in a bid to block its plan to purchase gaming firm Activision Blizzard.
Regulators fear that the Xbox-maker’s purchase would damage competition within the industry, saying that games such as Call of Duty series, would stop being offered on non-Microsoft gaming consoles.
The Activision purchase was set to be the biggest in Microsoft history, and the company has said it will fight to complete the $69bn (£56bn) deal.
It is among the most-high profile legal fights to emerge from US President Joe Biden's pledge to take a harder line against monopolies.

BBC News Video: Death after ambulance delay and fears this winter will ‘topple’ the NHS - BBC Newsnight
Newsnight has spent months investigating what's going on at different NHS trusts in England and Wales, and the impact it’s having on patients.
Our revelations centre on the West Midlands Ambulance Service where this year so far 37 patients have died after an ambulance was delayed in getting to them.
In the whole of 2020, only one person died before the ambulance turned up after a delay.
Darren Childs waited 47 minutes for an ambulance when his one-year-old daughter had a seizure, far beyond the 7 minute response target for such a life or death call. He fears ‘we are losing the NHS’ and that this winter’s pressures will ‘topple’ it.
Chief Correspondent David Grossman reports.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99. "It's part of everybody's history."
Global's Alexia Kapralos and Katherine Cheng have some of their stories.

Global Video: Are labour unions making a comeback in North America?
Throughout the pandemic, North Americans have been rethinking their relationship with work. In fact, a recently released survey found that about a quarter of Canadians have taken on a new job in the past few months.
Many more who have stayed at their post have begun thinking about ways to improve working conditions.
And then there's workers at places like Starbucks and Apple, some of whom have sought to form unions or join unions. In Canada, three Starbucks in B.C. have voted to join the United Steelworkers Union, as has a café in Calgary. Five Lethbridge Starbucks locations are awaiting the results of similar votes.
Meanwhile, unions have reported an increase in the number of calls from workers interested in joining a union, according to Canadian Labour Congress President Bea Bruske.
“Those workers who are often service sector workers in restaurants, retail locations, have had to deal with the public, have not necessarily had access to personal protective equipment during the pandemic, have not had access to paid sick time. And quite frankly, their wages are not keeping up to inflation,” She explains.
Alyssa Julie explains what’s behind workers’ renewed push to unionize their workplaces and whether it’s likely to lead to a stronger labour movement.
