HOW DOES IT WORK?
An advanced bariatric procedure performed under general anaesthesia, typically completed within 2-3 hours through laparoscopic techniques.
A portion of The Allurion Balloon operates through a straightforward and patient-friendly process. In a brief 20-minute consultation with your doctor, the balloon is placed in your stomach.
The procedure involves swallowing a capsule containing the deflated balloon, which is then confirmed for correct positioning through an X-ray. Once verified, the balloon is filled using a connected tube, and the tube is subsequently detached after a second X-ray, leaving the fully inflated balloon in the stomach.
An innovative feature of the Allurion Balloon is its auto-degradation, occurring naturally within 16-20 weeks. During this period, individuals typically experience a weight loss of 10-15% of their total body weight. Importantly, the entire process requires no endoscopy, anesthesia, or surgery, making it a minimally invasive and convenient option.
The Allurion Balloon's effectiveness extends beyond its physical presence. It integrates seamlessly with a Virtual Care Suite, providing users with flexibility and optimizing their weight loss journey. The suite includes a Smart Health Tracker Watch, a Smart Connected Scale, Cloud Integration, and a Phone App. This interconnected system empowers individuals by providing real-time feedback on various metrics, such as BMI, sleeping patterns, calorie metabolism, and heart rate. The collected data is utilized to detect and reprogram variables, enhancing the weight loss experience.
