Allurion balloon patients typically lose between 10-15% of their total body weight and are back to work after two days.
Most of the weight loss with the balloon happens within the first three months. After this period, the weight loss usually stabilises and we ask patients to boost their exercise.
Patients will find that eating smaller portions of food will keep them feeling fuller for longer. As a result, they can reduce their meal sizes and achieve the weight loss they are looking for. One clinical study showed that 95% of the average weight loss with the Allurion Balloon was sustained at 1-year follow-up.
