Allurion Gastric Balloon Programme:
Designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals without the need for surgery or invasive procedures. This article will delve into the details of the Allurion Programme, how it works, and the criteria that make you a suitable candidate for this innovative weight loss journey.
The Allurion Programme – An Effective Non-Surgical Solution:
The Allurion Programme is a 6-month medical weight loss programme that aims to transform not just your body but also your mindset towards food, ensuring long-term health benefits. Central to the program is the Allurion Balloon, an advanced gastric balloon that occupies space in your stomach, promoting a feeling of fullness faster and for longer. The procedure is incredibly convenient, requiring no surgery, no endoscopy, and no anaesthesia. Within just 15 minutes, you can embark on a remarkable weight loss journey without any downtime.
How the Allurion Balloon works:
The process is straightforward and non-invasive. You begin by swallowing a small capsule containing the deflated Allurion Balloon, attached to a thin tube. Once in your stomach, the balloon is gently filled with liquid using the tube. As a result, you feel full faster and consume less food, aiding in your weight loss efforts. After approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon naturally and harmlessly passes out of your body, completing the programme.
Benefits and Results of the Allurion Balloon:
The Allurion Programme has garnered outstanding results for weight loss patients worldwide, and now, it is exclusively available in Sydney, NSW. On average, patients can experience a significant reduction of 10-15% in total body weight, and remarkably, up to 95% of this weight loss can be maintained one year after the balloon has passed. The programme not only helps you achieve your target weight but also empowers you to adopt a healthier and sustainable approach to eating, ensuring long-term success.

Frequently asked questions
What are the differences between the Allurion Balloon and other gastric balloons?
The Allurion Balloon is the world’s first and only gastric balloon without the need for surgery, endoscopy** or anaesthesia for balloon placement and removal. The balloon is swallowed as a capsule during a 15-minute placement which means less downtime or time off work for our patients.
Designed to pass naturally at approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon maximizes weight loss while minimizing time spent in the body, making it a more effective option than longer 6-month endoscopic balloons, where 80% of weight loss is achieved within the first 3 months.5
The Allurion Ballon is a safer option, with fewer side effects. It has a significantly lower intolerance rate compared to 12-month endoscopic balloons (1-3% vs 14.4%),6,7 with an overall serious adverse event rate that is 10 times lower than other liquid-filled balloons.8-14
Made from vegan polyurethane, a material that’s much thinner and more flexible than the silicone material in endoscopic balloons, the Allurion Balloon flexes and adapts as your stomach moves, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
WhIs the Allurion Programme better than dieting alone?
Yes! The Allurion Programme, a combination of our unique swallowable gastric balloon and a supported lifestyle change programme, leads to nearly 2.5 times the weight loss than a lifestyle change programme alone, according to an independent study.3 In another study, three-quarters of participants who attempted to lose weight over a year through calorie-controlled or restricted diets (72% of participants), exercise programs or courses (22%), and pharmaceutical treatments (12%), did not achieve a clinically meaningful weight loss defined as at least 5% of their body weight.4 The evidence shows that these isolated methods alone are not enough. The 6-month Allurion Programme combines medical support and a weight-loss device (Allurion Gastric Balloon), digital tools (Allurion Connected Scale, Allurion Health Tracker and Allurion App) and nutritional coaching to kick-start your weight loss and help you form lifelong healthy habits to maintain the weight loss.
How is the Allurion Balloon placed?
The placement takes place during a 15-minute outpatient visit. The Allurion Balloon is the first gastric balloon that requires no endoscopy* or anaesthesia for placement or removal. Simply swallow a capsule containing the deflated balloon with a catheter: once the balloon is confirmed to be in your stomach via X-ray, the balloon is filled with water through the catheter. A second X-ray is done to ensure the balloon is filled correctly.
Can I return to normal activities after placement?
After the 15-minute placement, you can go about your life as usual. However, you may have some side effects for a few days such as nausea. Your healthcare professional will advise you on care and nutrition after placement and the best plan to resume your activities such as going to the gym.
Will it be obvious to others that I have the Allurion Balloon in my stomach?
No. The Allurion Programme is a discreet experience. Unless you tell people, no one will know you have had the balloon placed.
How much weight can be lost with the Allurion Programme?
After approximately 16 weeks of the Allurion Programme, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that patients lose on average 10-15% of their total body weight.* If you still want to lose more weight, a second Allurion Balloon can be placed after completing the first programme where you can expect to lose almost 23% of your total body weight after 12 months.1
Will I put the weight back on?
A temporary balloon does not mean temporary weight loss. Up to 95% of weight loss may be sustained 12 months after the Allurion Balloon exits the body.1
Does a doctor need to remove the balloon?
No. After approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon deflates and passes out of the body naturally. In very rare cases, an intervention might be required.
