Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon (secondary implantation without dietitian consultations)

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 uses a unique gastric balloon that creates a feeling of fullness in the stomach, helping patients lose weight effectively. It 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 to prepare for the gastric balloon placement.

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 liquid 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 eating smaller portions of food.
• After approximately 4 months, the balloon deflates on its own and is naturally expelled through the digestive tract without the need for any additional procedure.

From Month 6 – Throughout the program, patients lose an average of 10–15% of their body weight.

The Allurion Program includes:

• Allurion gastric balloon insertion.
• Medical team supervision and support before and after the procedure.
