Are there any medications that I will no longer be able to take?
No, although you would be best off avoiding certain painkillers, the so-called NSAIDs. These irritate the stomach. Examples include: diclofenac, meloxicam, ibuprofen, naproxen and etoricoxib.
We will prescribe a stomach protector for the entire time that the gastric balloon is in your stomach. One tablet a day.
