Allurion Gastric Balloon
What is the Allurion Gastric Balloon?
The Allurion Gastric Balloon is an innovative, FDA-approved weight loss solution that helps individuals shed unwanted pounds and achieve a healthier lifestyle. This non-surgical option provides an excellent alternative for those who are seeking a minimally invasive way to jumpstart their weight loss journey.
How Does It Work?
The Allurion Gastric Balloon is inserted into the stomach in a simple, outpatient procedure that takes just 20 minutes. Here’s how it works:
- Placement: A deflated gastric balloon is swallowed in a capsule, eliminating the need for surgery or anesthesia. The capsule is then inflated with a sterile saline solution once it reaches the stomach.
- Feel Fuller, Sooner: The inflated balloon occupies space in your stomach, making you feel full more quickly and helping to control your portion sizes.
- Diet and Lifestyle Support: Alongside the balloon, you’ll receive comprehensive support from a team of healthcare professionals, including a registered dietitian and a psychologist. This guidance will help you make the most of your weight loss journey.
- Removal: After approximately six months, the balloon is deflated and removed, completing the non-surgical process.
Benefits of the Allurion Gastric Balloon
- Non-Surgical: No incisions, stitches, or scars. The procedure is minimally invasive and doesn’t require general anesthesia.
- Effective Weight Loss: Many Allurion patients experience significant weight loss during their six months with the gastric balloon, often shedding 20-30% of their excess weight.
- Temporary: The balloon is only in place for six months, making it a short-term commitment.
- Lifestyle Change Support: Our team of experts provides personalized support to help you develop healthy eating and exercise habits during and after the treatment.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients can resume their daily activities shortly after the placement procedure.
