Allurion Balloon Program

Book a Consultation
Image
Previously known as the 'Elipse Balloon', the Allurion Balloon is a pill balloon capsule, which is swallowed under the guidance of Healthcare Professionals without anaesthesia or endoscopy. The Balloon will be inflated in your stomach, checked using an x-ray and you’ll be on your way! The entire procedure takes approximately 15 minutes during an outpatient visit. You will also be supported by using the Allurion Connected Scale, Health Tracker and App.
How The Allurion Balloon Works

Once ingested, the balloon is inflated in your stomach and checked with x-rays to ensure proper placement. This procedure is designed to be comfortable and swift, allowing you to start your weight loss journey without delay. The Allurion Balloon occupies space in your stomach, reducing hunger and helping you adjust to smaller portion sizes.

The results can last a lifetime. By the time the balloon passes, you’ve developed new food preferences, adjusted to smaller portion sizes, and developed a new understanding of your body which leads to real results, not endless yo-yo-ing. ​

Sustained Results

The Allurion Balloon is designed to stay in place for approximately 16 weeks.
After this period, the balloon naturally deflates and passes through your digestive system. Our Allurion Balloon Program has demonstrated that up to 95% of the average weight loss can be sustained one year after the balloon exits the body. This means you’re not just losing weight; you're adopting a new lifestyle for lasting health.

Eligibility and Safety

The Allurion Balloon Program is suitable for individuals with a BMI over 27 and within the age range of 18-65.

It’s a safe and effective option, with a significantly lower intolerance rate compared to other gastric balloons. The Allurion Balloon is made from vegan polyurethane, offering a comfortable fit as it flexes with your stomach movements.

For Better Results, we Offer Body Composition Tracking with InBody

Body composition is used by health professionals to evaluate a person’s weight by breaking it down into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water. It describes your healthy weight more accurately and provides a better glimpse into your overall health rather than traditional methods such as body mass index & weight. A body composition analysis will accurately show changes in your fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage.

Success Stories

I am really satisfied with the Allurion Program; it helped me lose the weight I gained during the past 10 years, which I was struggling to lose. At first, I was a bit worried about being able to swallow the capsule, but the doctor really put me at ease, and the placement was done in less than 15 minutes! Additionally, the support from my dietitian was outstanding, keeping me motivated throughout. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience... From the straightforward method of swallowing the balloon to the support, offered by the clinic dietician, I couldn't be happier. Losing around 15 kg in four months without the need to go through surgery, was more than I could've hoped for. It's important to do research of all of the different options out there, but this seems to be the most straightforward and cost-effective plus you really learn ways to cope with cravings that I believe will help me way into the future.

Patient Success Story!

Step One
Swallowing the Capsule

The process starts with the patient swallowing a small capsule that contains the deflated Allurion Balloon. This capsule is attached to a thin catheter.

Step Two
Inflation in the Stomach

Once the capsule reaches the stomach, the balloon inside is inflated with water through the catheter. This is done under the guidance of a physician and x-ray technician.

Step Three
Using X-Rays for Placement Confirmation

The correct placement and inflation of the balloon are confirmed using x-ray. This step is crucial to ensure that the balloon is properly situated in the stomach.

Step Four
Removal of the Catheter

After the balloon is inflated and its placement is confirmed, the catheter is gently removed. This completes the insertion process.

Step Five
Duration in the Stomach

The Allurion Balloon is designed to remain in the stomach for approximately 16 weeks. During this time, it occupies space in the stomach, helping to reduce hunger and portion sizes.

Step Six
Natural Passage
After the 16-week period, the balloon naturally deflates and is designed to pass through the digestive system without the need for a removal procedure.
