Intragastric balloon placement is a weight-loss procedure that involves placing a saline-filled silicone balloon in your stomach. This helps you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat and making you feel fuller and faster.




The placement takes place during a 15-minute outpatient visit. Allurion is the first gastric balloon that requires no endoscopy* or anaesthesia for placement or removal. Simply swallow a capsule containing the deflated Balloon with a catheter. Once the Balloon is confirmed to be in your stomach via X-ray, the Balloon is filled with water through the catheter. A second X-ray takes place to ensure the Balloon is filled correctly.
