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.
No. Having the balloon inside your stomach is discreet and does not change your appearance. Unless you tell people, no one will know you have had the Balloon placed.
After approximately 16 weeks of placement, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that patients lose, on average, 10-15% of their total body weight.
Clinical study has shown that up to 95% of weight loss may be sustained 12 months after the Balloon exits the body. A healthy lifestyle and exercise will help to sustain the lost weight.
No. After approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion gastric balloon deflates and naturally passes out of the body. During this time, Patients have regained control over their eating habits and should continue to make healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices for long-term weight management.
