Key- Success Reason No 1.

Balloon Placement

16 Weeks

Adopt better habits without feeling hungry

Most people who want to lose weight on restrictive diets usually fail because they feel hungry for long periods, which makes it very difficult to establish new healthy eating habits.

The first phase of the Program, which lasts 16 weeks, consists of the placement of the Allurion Balloon, which will occupy a considerable space in your gastric cavity during this period, therefore your appetite will be reduced and the feeling of satiety will be prolonged. ; This way, it will be easier for you to control your food intake and establish new eating habits that were previously difficult to maintain.

From the first weeks of starting the Allurion Program, you will observe a significant weight loss, you will also notice an improvement in your body composition, this will motivate you to continue working on creating a new lifestyle.

Key- Success Reason No 2.

Holistic Lifestyle Program

Your goal shouldn’t consist of losing weight but also changing your habits, improving your body composition, and sustainably activating your metabolism.

Diets whose sole objective is weight loss, certainly allow the patient to lose weight, but they achieve it while losing muscle mass, water, and fat, so weight gain is almost immediate. Taking advantage of the residence of the balloon to activate your metabolism and lose as much fat as possible, while working on increasing muscle mass, is the methodology on which our Allurion Program revolves.

Our Allurion Program’s Holistic Lifestyle Program includes:

6 – 8 sessions of support and nutritional guidance. The patient will learn about their body and how to manage it through nutrition to achieve their wellness and body composition goals.

6 sessions of psychological support. The patient is guided to transform the patterns that direct their decisions and habits, thus managing to transform their body.

6 – 8 sessions of general medicine.

Smart scale for real-time monitoring and progress analysis using artificial intelligence.

Medications for post-placement management.

Real time monitoring

A key factor to achieve successful results is monitoring, which is why our programs include digital tools with cutting-edge technologies such as:

  • The Bioimpedance Scale: which, synchronized with the Allurion Insights application, allows both you and the medical team to observe and monitor in real-time both your weight loss progression and the changes in your body composition, as well as the evolution of your sleep habits and physical activity.
  • Relying on artificial intelligence, Allurion Insights allows you to analyze and predict what your results will be like at the end of your program, constantly generating alarms for the team of specialists who guide and accompany you, allowing them to timely adjust your nutritional and physical activity plans, without having to wait for you to visit us again in your next consultation

FAQ´s

How is the Ingestible Gastric Balloon of Allurion Implanted?
The placement is done in an outpatient visit of less than 15 minutes. Allurion is the first gastric balloon that does not require endoscopy* or anesthesia for placement or removal. Just ingest a capsule containing the deflated Balloon attached to a catheter: once the presence of the Balloon in the stomach is confirmed by an X-ray, the Balloon is filled with water through the catheter. A second X-ray is taken to ensure that the balloon has been filled correctly.
Almost all overweight and older people can be candidates, only those who are pregnant, or those who have had previous bariatric surgery, are not candidates, however, it is recommended to access the previous evaluation so that the doctor can evaluate.

When combined with intensive weight loss strategies, the Allurion Balloon leads to a weight loss almost 2.5 times greater than when intensive weight loss strategies are undertaken alone, over 16 weeks. In fact, 17% of patients who undertook intensive weight loss strategies along with the Allurion Balloon achieved a weight loss of more than 20% of their total body weight! The Allurion Program is more successful than diets alone because:

  1. Thanks to the Gastric Balloon, patients feel less hungry, feel satisfied more quickly after eating, and do not experience the hunger pangs that can be experienced when on a typical diet.
  2. Overweight is caused by other factors that influence each person’s metabolic functioning beyond eating habits, which is why the Allurion Program not only helps the patient change eating habits with less effort, but also transforms their body composition to achieve more aesthetic and functional benefits.
Some people experience nausea, abdominal cramps, and occasionally vomiting after the balloon placement. In most cases, these symptoms are well controlled with the prescribed medications for regular use.
Most people resume their normal lives one or two days after swallowing the balloon, although some may experience normal and manageable symptoms during the first week as their body adapts to the presence of the balloon. Just in case, it’s not a bad idea to take a few days off after the balloon placement or schedule the placement appointment on a Friday to take advantage of the weekend.
One of the greatest benefits provided by the Allurion program is the ability that patients gain to maintain 95% (on average) of the weight lost initially, one year after the balloon has been expelled.
With a very high effectiveness rate, studies show that on average between 10% and 15% of total weight is lost with the 6-month program and an average of 22.8% of total body weight with the sequential balloon program that lasts 12 months (It consists of taking a second 6-month program with an implantation of a second gastric balloon that starts after a 2-month break following the natural expulsion of the first balloon).
