The Allurion Program is part of a fully supported weight loss program, designed just for you by your dedicated care team composed of your doctor and your nutritionist. Also supported by the Allurion Bluetooth Scale and App to visualize, track and share your progress.
Patients lose an average of 10 to 15kg during the 6-month program. One clinical study with 95 patients showed that 95% of average weight loss with Allurion can be sustained at 12 month follow up. 1-10

The balloon is placed in your stomach during a brief 15-minute outpatient visit with your doctor.¹ You will swallow a vegetable-based capsule that contains the deflated balloon. The balloon is connected to a long thin tube. Once the capsule has entered your stomach you will have a first x-ray to confirm the correct position of the capsule. Your doctor will then use the tube to fill the balloon with liquid and then a second x-ray will confirm the balloon is correctly filled. Once the balloon is filled, your doctor will gently remove the tube and you’ll be on your way.
Most people can swallow the capsule containing the Allurion Balloon without any problems. However, if you do have difficulty swallowing it, your doctor can use a thin wire (stylet) to help guide the capsule into place – still without endoscopy or anaesthesia.¹-²
After approximately 4 months, a time-activated release valve on the balloon will open, allowing it to empty and pass naturally without any medical intervention when you use the toilet.³ In rare cases, at the time of passage, the balloon may be vomited.
*In rare cases, the Allurion Balloon may require endoscopic or surgical intervention for removal. In rare cases, the empty balloon may be vomited instead of passing through the GI tract.
**Results may vary from one patient to another. A small percentage of patients don’t respond to the treatment.
***As of June 2020
