Gastric Balloon (Allurion Balloon)
What is it?
The Allurion Balloon is a soft, swallowable balloon that expands in your stomach to help you feel full and reduce portion sizes. It’s a non-surgical, temporary option ideal for people looking to lose weight and build healthy eating habits—without the need for anaesthesia or endoscopy.
Why choose this?
- No surgery, no endoscopy and no anaesthetic required
- The balloon naturally deflates and passes after about 16 weeks
- Encourages portion control and jump-starts weight loss
- Includes a structured lifestyle programme for long-term change
What to expect?
The capsule containing the balloon is swallowed during a short clinic visit. Once confirmed in place, it is filled with fluid through a thin tube and then the tube is removed. You can typically return home within an hour.
The balloon helps you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer. During the 4-month period it’s in place, you’ll work with our team of specialists—receiving personalised nutrition advice, digital tracking tools, and behaviour coaching to create lasting results.
The Allurion Balloon is ideal for patients looking to avoid surgery but still achieve meaningful, supported weight loss.
