Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon (primary implantation)

Allurion Weight Loss Program is available in more than 60 countries. It is one of the most advanced methods for managing excess weight. The program combines a unique gastric balloon with a 6-month lifestyle modification program to help create a feeling of fullness and support effective weight loss.

This is a highly effective and safe treatment method that requires no anesthesia, endoscopy, or surgery.

How does the Allurion Weight Loss Program work?

Month 1 – You begin working with a team of healthcare professionals. During this phase, preparations are made for gastric balloon placement, and new healthy eating and lifestyle habits are introduced.

Months 2–5 – A 15-minute procedure is performed:

• The patient swallows a capsule containing the gastric balloon attached to a thin catheter. No surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia is required.

• Once an X-ray confirms that the capsule has reached the stomach, the balloon is filled with 550 ml of fluid through the catheter and remains in the stomach for approximately 4 months.

• The balloon occupies part of the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness while consuming smaller portions of food.
• After approximately 4 months, the balloon naturally deflates and is expelled through the digestive tract without the need for any additional procedure.

The development of new eating habits and behavioral changes continues throughout the program.

Wireless smart scales automatically transmit data to your doctor, enabling real-time monitoring of your progress and allowing personalized guidance and recommendations.

From Month 6 Onward – Patients lose an average of 10–15% of their body weight during the program.

Your healthcare team helps you maintain the newly established eating and lifestyle habits to support long-term weight management and lasting results.
