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.
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.
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.
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.
After approximately 4 months, a time-activated release valve automatically opens, allowing the balloon to empty and pass out naturally through the gastrointestinal tract.
