Gastric Pill Balloon FAQs
The balloon, tucked inside a capsule, is swallowed and filled with water during a brief 15-minute doctor’s visit. Approximately 4 months later, it self-empties and passes out naturally.
The Allurion Balloon takes up space in your stomach, reducing your appetite and helping you to feel full faster and for longer.
99.9% of people succeed in swallowing the balloon. If you have trouble, your doctor will be on hand to help the capsule on its way.
Everyone is different – some people feel little or no discomfort, while others experience symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, abdominal cramping and, vomiting. These temporary symptoms can usually be treated with commonly used medications prescribed by your doctor.
The Allurion® Balloon has been proven to support an average of 10-15% total body weight loss after approximately 4 months.
Plus, you can boost your weight loss with a second consecutive Allurion® Balloon and lose an average of 23% of your body weight in 12 months.
The balloon is filled with 550ml of water.
There are some specific dietary recommendations before placement and during the first week as you adapt to the balloon.
We will be there every step of your journey, providing support and guidance. We will create personalised eating plans tailored to your specific needs and progress. You will also gain valuable knowledge about food and nutrition that will set you up for long-term success.
Most people can return to normal activity within a day or two. Depending on your job role (for example, if you operate heavy machinery), it can be a good idea to book a few days off work just in case.
Some patients feel the balloon at the beginning, but most become accustomed quickly and even forget it is there.
After approximately 4 months, a time-activated release valve automatically opens, allowing the balloon to empty and pass out naturally through the gastrointestinal tract.
