A member asked:

Hello what will happen if my gastric balloon not fully filled by its fluid ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably nothing. : Presuming your talking about the weight loss balloon, it should be ok if under filled, but it depends how much. Best to see the doctor that put it in to find out for sure. You could also check the manufacturers website. If no symptoms, ok to wait until they are open to sort it out. Hope this helps!
