FAQ’s
- The Allurion balloon is the world’s first and only gastric balloon that requires no surgery, endoscopy* or anesthesia to place and retrieve the balloon.
- The ball is swallowed in capsule form within 15 minutes of placement, which means our patients have less downtime.
- Designed for a natural transition at around 16 weeks, the Allurion balloon maximizes weight loss while minimizing time in the body, making it a more effective option than the 6-month laparoscopic balloon, where 80% of weight loss is achieved within the first 3 months.
- Allurion balloons are a safer option with fewer side effects. They have a significantly lower rate of intolerance than the 12-month balloon endoscope with an overall rate of serious adverse events 10 times lower than other liquid-filled balls.
- Made from vegan polyurethane, a material that is much thinner and more flexible than the silicone of the endoscope, the Allurion balloon flexes and adapts to the movement of the stomach, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
- After the Allurion balloon has passed, the Allurion program and related support from your healthcare team will continue for one month.
- At the end of the Allurion program, you must continue your healthy living habits.
- A clinical study showed that 95% of mean weight loss effects with Allurion balloons were maintained after one year of follow-up.
- After about 16 weeks inside your stomach, a timed release valve opens, allowing the balloon to empty and pass naturally through your digestive tract without the need for a removal procedure. *
- *in rare cases, the Allurion balloon may require endoscopic or surgical intervention to remove.
- Correct! According to an independent study, the Allurion program, a combination of our unique swallowable gastric balloon and accompanying lifestyle change program, resulted in nearly 2. 5 times more weight loss than a change program.
- In another study, three-quarters of participants tried to lose weight for a year through calorie-restricted diets (72% of participants), exercise programs or classes (22%) and drug treatments (12%). Participants did not achieve clinically significant weight loss defined as at least 5% of their body weight. Evidence shows that these separate methods are not enough to achieve weight loss.
- The 6-month Allurion program combines medical assistance and weight loss equipment (Allurion gastric balloon), digital tools (Allurion connected scale, Allurion app health tracker) and nutrition plan to get started on your weight loss program and help you create healthy habits to maintain weight loss.
- No, they do not.
- After about 16 weeks, the balloon deflates and passes naturally through the digestive system in very rare cases, intervention may be necessary.
- Up to 95% weight loss can be maintained 12 months after the balloon is out of the body as it encourages healthy behavioural changes
- The placement takes place in a 15-20 minute out-patient visit.
- Allurion is the first gastric balloon that does not require endoscopy* or anesthesia for insertion or removal.
- Simply swallow a capsule containing a deflated Balloon with a catheter.
- After an X-ray confirms the balloon is placed correctly in your stomach, the balloon will be filled with water through a catheter, and a second X-ray takes place to make sure that the balloon is properly filled and in the right position.
- After the placement, you can move on with your life; however, you may have some symptoms for a few days such as nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, your healthcare professional will prescribe some medication to help alleviate the symptoms.
- Your healthcare professional will advise you on your post-op care and nutrition and the best plan to continue your activities, such as gym and exercise.
- Absolutely not.
- The Allurion program is a simple experience, unless you tell everyone, no one will know you placed the balloon except you.
- After about 16 weeks of the Allurion program, several clinical studies have shown that patients lose an average of 10-15% of their total body weight.
- If you still want to lose more weight, you can order a second balloon after completing the first program.
