“I also returned to physical activity after more than 20, 25 years, doing absolutely nothing. What impacts me is actually the change that is generating me physically, emotionally. There is a job that is still a long way to go, but it was a very good tool for me for various reasons of a personal and family nature,” he added excitedly.

In addition, the actor admitted that he decided at the time not to have gastric bypass surgery “due to a traumatic experience of my younger brother.” “This tool helped me get through the fear and to think that there was another possibility to be able to change my condition. I was already having problems in the joints, in the knees, due to the weight that was not letting me move well”, added Carlos Portaluppi.

“The gastric balloon is a novel instrument that is zero invasive, that does not require surgery, does not require anesthesia. It is a tablet, the size of ibuprofen, that you take, it is attached to a catheter, it is positioned in the stomach and they take an X-ray ”, he recounted.

“Once it is checked that the capsule is well positioned, physiological solution is injected, it is inflated to the size of a grapefruit, a new X-ray is done to check that it is well positioned, the catheter is removed and it remains there for four, five months, and then, for a patch, it degrades and you eliminate it”, he completed about his treatment.
