Gastric Balloon
Lose Weight Without Surgery
The Gastric Balloon gives you the power to cut cravings and lose weight. This is a game changer - the swallowable gastric pill balloon with a 15-minute appointment.
How does Gastric Balloon work?
Previously known as the 'Elipse Balloon', the Allurion Balloon is a pill balloon capsule, which is swallowed under the guidance of our Healthcare Professionals without anaesthesia or endoscopy*. The Balloon will be inflated in your stomach, checked using quick x-rays and you’ll be on your way! The entire procedure takes approximately 15 minutes with an outpatient visit.
The Balloon is safe, non-permanent, recommended by doctors, and can help you kickstart an average loss of 10-15% of your body weight in just 16 weeks⁴ alongside our fully supported 6-month lifestyle Programme. After 16 weeks the pill balloon degrades and leaves the body naturally.
The results can last a lifetime. By the time the balloon passes, you’ve developed new food preferences, adjusted to smaller portion sizes, and developed a new understanding of your body which leads to real results, not endless yo-yo-ing. The Allurion Balloon is a safe, non-permanent solution and can help you to kickstart your weight-loss journey.
Initial consultation by our certified doctors
The process starts with an initial consultation with one of our approved doctors, who will explain the process and make sure you feel safe and comfortable. They will discuss your weight-loss goals and health history to ensure that the Allurion Balloon is right for you.
The pill balloon is placed in your stomach in a quick 15 minute treatment
Swallow a small capsule which contains the deflated gastric balloon. It is attached to a very thin catheter that the doctor will use to inflate the Balloon with water once placed in your stomach. X-rays are used to ensure the Balloon is in the right position and filled correctly before the catheter is gently removed. It really is that simple!
You're given weight loss tools and your appetite adjusts
The Balloon takes up space in your stomach leaving less room for food. You feel less hungry as cravings are reduced, helping you eat less and lose weight.
You reset your relationship with food
You will be supported by a dedicated healthcare team to help change your eating behaviour and lose weight for the long-term.
You achieve long-lasting weight-loss goals
After approximately 16 weeks, the Balloon naturally deflates and passes through the digestive system*. Your support team remain at hand to help you maintain your new relationship with food and keep the weight off.
