What is allurion Balloon Program?
The Allurion balloon is a weight loss device that is placed in the stomach. The balloon is filled with saline solution, which takes up space in the stomach and helps the patient feel full, leading to weight loss. The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis and takes about 20-30 minutes. After 6 months the balloon will deflate and excreted out of the body naturally. The patient will continue to receive diet and exercise counseling during this time to help them maintain their weight loss.

The PROCESS for Allurion balloon treatment typically involves the following steps:
Endoscopy: The procedure is performed under sedation using an endoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera on the end. The balloon is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach.
Inflation: Once the balloon is in place, it is filled with saline solution through a small valve. The balloon is then sealed and left in the stomach.
Recovery: The patient will be monitored for a short time after the procedure to ensure there are no complications. They will typically be able to go home the same day.
Diet and exercise counseling: The patient will receive counseling on diet and exercise to help them maintain their weight loss after the balloon is removed.
Deflation: After 6 months, the balloon will be deflated and excreted out of the body naturally.
It’s important to note that the Allurion balloon is not a permanent solution and it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the balloon is removed.
