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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
