The 6-Step Process to Your Healthier Self

Our structured, step-by-step program ensures you're supported from your initial consultation to long after the balloon placement.

Step-by-Step Guide

Consultation

Step 1

Initial Consultation

Begin with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Jordan Levy, our Allurion-certified bariatric surgeon. We’ll discuss your health, weight loss goals, and how the Allurion Balloon can help you achieve those goals.

Health Team

Step 2

Introduction to the Team

You’ll be introduced to your dedicated support team, which includes a registered dietitian, a medical expert, and a patient success manager. This team will guide you throughout your journey.

Balloon Placement

Step 3

Balloon Placement

You’ll swallow a small capsule, which is filled with saline through a thin tube, turning it into a balloon in your stomach. This simple procedure takes just minutes, with no surgery or anesthesia required. Two X-rays confirm the balloon’s safe placement in your stomach.

Healthy Eating

Step 4

Changes in Habits

Once the balloon is placed, you’ll notice an immediate change in appetite. The balloon takes up space in your stomach, reducing the amount of food you can comfortably consume and helping you feel full faster.

Four Month Mark

Step 5

Four Month Mark

After four months, the time-activated release valve opens allowing the saline to empty. The deflated balloon naturally degrades and passes through your digestive system, marking the end of its physical presence.There’s no need for any invasive removal procedure. By this point, you’ll have developed healthier eating habits.

Weight Loss

Step 6

The New You

With ongoing support from our team and the use of tools like the Allurion Health Tracker, Connected Scale, and App, you’ll maintain your weight loss and continue building a healthier lifestyle long after the balloon passes.
