Allurion. The swallowable gastric balloon weight loss programme

Meaningful weight loss results*

Lose 10-15% of your body weight 1,2

The Allurion (aka Elipse) swallowable gastric balloon is a new innovation in balloon technology requiring no surgery, no endoscopy, and no anaesthesia. Traditionally gastric balloon procedures have involved a 3-4 hour hospital stay for an endoscopic insertion followed by a second visit when it’s ready for removal. Not anymore.

The Allurion swallowable gastric balloon requires no hospital admission, just a 20 minute outpatient appointment. There is no endoscopy to feed the balloon down the throat, you simply swallow the capsule with a glass of water. When its position is confirmed via x-ray, the balloon is filled with a saline solution and the small catheter removed. As no sedation is used, you can even drive yourself home.

How it works

The swallowable gastric balloon occupies a large area in your stomach and acts as a built-in portion control, helping you to feel satisfied after eating small volumes of food. It stays in place for 4 months until a time-activated release valve in the device opens and the balloon deflates and passes naturally. No removal procedure is required.
