When combined with intensive weight loss strategies, the Allurion Balloon leads to nearly 2.5 times greater weight loss 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 dieting alone because 1. Thanks to the Gastric Balloon, patients feel less hungry, feel satisfied more quickly after eating and do not have the hunger attacks that can be experienced when dieting typically. Obesity is caused by other factors that influence the metabolic functioning of each person beyond eating habits, so the Allurion Program not only helps the patient to change eating habits with less effort but to transform their body composition to achieve more aesthetic and functional benefits.
Some people experience nausea, abdominal cramping and occasionally vomiting after balloon placement. In most cases, these symptoms are well controlled with commonly prescribed medications.
Most people resume normal life a day or two after ingesting the balloon, although some may experience normal, manageable symptoms during the first week while their body adjusts to the presence of the balloon. Just in case, it is not a bad idea to take a few days off after the balloon placement or to schedule the placement appointment on a Friday to take advantage of the weekend.
One of the major benefits of the Allurion program is the ability of patients to maintain 95% (on average) of their initial weight loss one year after balloon removal.
With a very high effectiveness rate, studies show that an average of 10% to 15% of total weight is lost with the 6-month program and an average of 22.8% of total body weight is lost with the 12-month sequential balloon program (Consists of taking a second 6-month program with a second gastric balloon implantation that is started after a 2-month break following the natural expulsion of the first balloon).
