Help your resolve: stay stronger for longer.
Dieting can make you feel hungry, but Allurion gives you control because patients feel less hungry, feel fuller more quickly after eating, and have help avoiding the hunger attacks typically experienced when dieting.
Why is the Allurion Balloon more effective than dieting alone?
Allurion is designed to help you reduce your food intake by taking up space in your stomach. It helps reduce hunger and cravings, to help break the habit of snacking throughout the day and encourage smaller portions at mealtimes, while you learn healthy habits.
As you will be eating less, the weight will naturally fall off - you will be working with a nutritionist to ensure that your body is getting the nutrients it needs to be strong and form healthy eating habits. You can lose an average of 10–15% of your body weight in the first 16-weeks!
During the Programme you will work with your doctor and nutritionist on a food and exercise plan, training you to eat smaller portions, which may help in the lifestyle transformation of a new you.
By the time the balloon passes*, you have developed new food preferences, adjusted to smaller portion sizes, and developed a new understanding of your body. That leads to real, maintainable results - not endless yo-yo-ing, so you eat less and live more.
Things to consider
Published data has shown that 99.9% of people succeed in swallowing the Allurion Balloon.
If you have trouble swallowing the capsule on your own, your healthcare professional can assist you by gently stiffening the catheter with a thin wire.⁴
After Balloon placement some people experience nausea, abdominal cramping and occasional vomiting. In most cases, these symptoms are well-controlled with commonly prescribed medications.⁷ ¹²
Following healthcare professional approval, most people return to normal activity within a day or two, however, a small number of people may experience symptoms for a bit longer.
After approximately 16 weeks the Balloon deflates and passes comfortably through the digestive system*.
