It is a gastric balloon that is swallowed through the mouth with a small amount of water. It is a capsule that contains the balloon and is attached to a thin catheter, which is removed once the filling process is completed.

It is not necessary to perform any sedation or endoscopic process to introduce the balloon into the stomach, it is simply necessary to perform a radiographic control of a few minutes to verify its correct implantation. Once the capsule has been swallowed when it reaches the stomach, the balloon is filled with 550 cc of purified water.
The Ellipse Balloon inside the stomach produces a feeling of permanent satiety and easy filling with small amounts of food. This is because the Gastric Balloon occupies 60% of the gastric capacity, reducing the day's food intake very significantly. This makes it very easy for the patient to comply with a program of modification of eating habits and lifestyle, that will lead to success in weight loss, without rebounding.
Definitely YES. The first few days you may feel nausea or discomfort, which will disappear in a short time. Medication will be prescribed to minimize these symptoms and make you feel better.
Feeding during the first three days will consist of a liquid diet and little by little, as the patient feels well, they can incorporate solid foods. The feeling of satiety provided by the Ellipse ball allows you to successfully start and maintain the entire parallel process of acquiring healthy habits. A multidisciplinary team will be at your side to help you.
The residence time of this balloon in the stomach is approximately 16 weeks (4 months).
Depending on each case and type of overweight or obesity and your commitment and following our recommendations, you can lose at least 15Kg. Some patients lose notably more weight than average
No rebound effect, you will maintain the results over time
Minimally invasive technique, without surgery or hospitalization
You will leave a normal life by eating fewer calories. You will promote a change in eating habits and a healthy lifestyle.
While it is a safe technique, all procedures carry some risks. It can happen that the balloon deflates and passes into the small intestine causing an obstruction of the same. Lacerations, ulcers, bleeding, or perforations may also appear. There are effective medical and endoscopic treatments to solve these complications.
In this case, surgery, anesthesia or endoscopy is not necessary either. After approximately 16 weeks, a time-activated release valve will open, allowing the balloon to empty and pass naturally through the gastrointestinal tract without the need for a removal procedure. *
*In rare cases, the Allurion Balloon may require endoscopic or surgical intervention for removal.
After removing the gastric balloon, there is no discomfort. You've lost weight and learned to eat better and feel satisfied with your new way of eating, so you won't feel any hungrier than when you were wearing the gastric balloon.
It is important to remember that the most important and critical part in any weight loss process is the change that the patient must make himself in terms of adopting eating and lifestyle habits that must be maintained once the balloon is removed.
