How Does the Allurion Program Work?
The Allurion program consists of a non-surgical treatment that allows patients to lose weight in up to 16 weeks through the use of a swallowable intragastric balloon; this means that this procedure doesn’t require an endoscopy or the use of anesthesia, as is with the traditional intragastric balloon. The idea of swallowing the balloon may raise some eyebrows, but studies[1] have found that, while there is concern for bowel obstruction, the EIGB is “a safe device offering an effective weight loss”.
This non-surgical procedure has also been used in patients who have metabolic syndrome (MS) and who are also obese to test its effectiveness. As we’ve mentioned, an endoscopy is not needed for its placement and removal, and the body excretes it through the digestive tract after four months.
The results were good with the total weight loss being 11.6%, as well as a significant decline in co-morbidities related to MS[2]. These results are possible because the Allurion EIGB limits the amount of food your stomach can hold and keeps you sated to avoid unnecessary eating.
