I am sorry, but I am not familiar with that practice here, in my area. They encouraged us to use a high protein, low carb type diet weeks before surgery, but don't know of anyone that has the balloon inserted and inflated. Having said that, there are many different approaches to this whole procedure...so keep inquiring. But may be common practice in your area.
Good luck. Cindy
