In September 2025, I weighed more than 105 kilograms

Hello, my name is Laura Isabel García Calle, and I want to share my experience with the gastric balloon:

In September 2025, I weighed more than 105 kilograms. I reached a point in my life where I realized I needed a real change—not just physically, but also emotionally and in terms of my health.

On my own initiative, I made one of the most important decisions of my life: to go to the Obesity Group at Clínica Medellín.

There, I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Héctor Vargas and Dr. Janeth Bejarano—professionals who provided me not only with medical support, but also with genuine human care.

In addition, there is a whole team of professionals who never abandon you and are attentive to every step you take.

From the very first moment, I felt trust, support, and the peace of mind of being in the best hands. Without a doubt, that was the beginning of a transformation that changed my life.

Today, I can proudly and gratefully say that I have lost more than 20 kilograms.

The process has not been easy; there are moments of desperation, doubt, and fatigue, because this journey happens in stages, and each one brings its own challenges. However, in the end, it is all worth it.

This change has completely transformed my life: my health improved, my self-esteem grew, and the way I see and feel about myself has changed.

I regained confidence, energy, and self-love.

Looking back, I can say with certainty that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and that starting this process marked a before and after in my life.
