Allurean Balloon

Procedure Overview:

The Allurion Balloon, a soft and pliable balloon, is inserted into your stomach during a brief and straightforward appointment. In under 15 minutes, the balloon is inflated, and after 16 weeks, it naturally deflates and passes through your system. By creating a persistent feeling of fullness, the balloon occupies space in your stomach, promoting weight reduction. This results in a decreased daily calorie intake. Outcomes may vary as The Allurion Balloon is part of a six-month lifestyle program tailored to your specific needs. However, patients typically shed 10 to 15% of their body weight during the 16-week Allurion Program and manage to maintain up to 95% of that weight loss.

Day of Treatment:

• On the treatment day, you simply ingest a small capsule containing the deflated balloon connected to a thin tube.
• Doctors conduct an abdominal X-ray to ensure proper balloon placement once it reaches your stomach.
• A catheter is employed to introduce 550 ml of water into the balloon.
• The balloon is rechecked to confirm its fullness, and the entire process, during an appointment, takes no more than 15 minutes.
• After balloon insertion, some individuals may occasionally experience minor abdominal discomfort, nausea, or vomiting.
