Allurion Balloon

The Allurion balloon is the world’s first non-procedural gastric balloon device.

It requires no surgery, anaesthesia or endoscopy. The procedure involves swallowing a capsule under the guidance of your surgeon and is filled with approximately 500ml of saline. The placement of the balloon is confirmed with x-ray imaging and the procedure is completed within 15-20 minutes. The balloon remains in place for approximately 14- 16 weeks, after this time the balloon will break apart on its own and is passed out of the body.

The Allurion Program also includes a health tracker watch, scales and follow-up with your dietitian to support you to make dietary, behaviour and lifestyle modifications throughout your entire weight loss journey.
