A gastric balloon is a weight loss solution that involves placing a soft, inflatable balloon in the stomach to reduce its capacity and help you feel fuller faster and stay fuller for longer. It is considered safe and a less invasive alternative to weight loss surgery. The balloon stays in the stomach for a period of time, usually several months, during which it helps you to eat smaller portions, consume fewer calories, and achieve significant weight loss. After this residence period, the balloon deflates and is removed either through endoscopy, or in the case of the Allurion Balloon, passes out of the body naturally.
The best weight management treatment is personal to you, dependent on factors like your goals, health and well-being, preferences, etc. There are a range of effective treatments out there, and increasingly people use multiple treatments in combination and succession. Many people find fast, significant and sustainable weight loss following the Allurion Program, meaning for them it is an ideal first-line treatment. For some patients, during or after the Allurion Program, they may consider the addition of weight-loss drugs if advised by their expert clinic team.
We understand that swallowing the balloon or the gag reflex can be a source of anxiety for certain people.
However, 99.99% of patients are able to swallow the capsule. If you have difficulty swallowing the capsule on your own, your doctor can assist you and gently guide the capsule down by stiffening the catheter. This helps avoid the gag reflex and support quick placement of the capsule inside the stomach.
After the Allurion Balloon passes, the Allurion Program and the related support from your healthcare team continues for one month. At the end of the Allurion Program, you should continue your healthy lifestyle habits. One clinical study showed that 96% of the average weight loss with the Allurion Balloon was sustained at 1-year follow-up.
The placement takes place during a less than 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 a catheter. A second x-ray takes place to ensure the Balloon is filled correctly.
After approximately 16 weeks inside your stomach, a time-activated release valve will open, allowing the balloon to empty and pass naturally through the gastrointestinal tract without the need for a removal procedure.*
*In rare cases, the Allurion Balloon may require endoscopic or surgical intervention for removal.
Yes! The Allurion Program, a combination of our unique swallowable gastric balloon and a supported lifestyle change program, leads to nearly 2.5 times the weight loss than a lifestyle change program alone, according to an independent study.
In another study, three-quarters of participants who attempted to lose weight over a year through calorie-controlled or restricted diets (72% of participants), exercise programs or courses (22%), and pharmaceutical treatments (12%), did not achieve a clinically meaningful weight loss defined as at least 5% of their body weight. The evidence shows that these isolated methods alone are not enough.
The 6-month Allurion Program combines medical support and a weight-loss device (Allurion Gastric Balloon), digital tools (Allurion Connected Scale, Allurion Health Tracker and Allurion App) and nutritional coaching to kick-start your weight loss and help you form lifelong healthy habits to maintain the weight loss.

A temporary balloon does not mean temporary weight loss. Up to 96% of weight loss may be sustained 12 months after the Allurion Balloon exits the body.
After the 15-minute placement you can go about your life as usual. However, you may have some side effects for a few days such as nausea. Your healthcare professional will advise you on care and nutrition after placement and the best plan to resume your activities such as going to the gym.
No. The Allurion Program is a discreet experience. Unless you tell people, no one will know you have had the balloon placed.
After approximately 16 weeks of the Allurion Program, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that patients lose on average 10-15% of their total body weight.* If you still want to lose more weight, a second Allurion Balloon can be placed after completing the first program where you can expect to lose almost 23% of your total body weight after 12 months.
