Allurion Gastric Balloon (Non-Surgical)

Giới thiệu về Allurion Gastric Balloon (Non-Surgical)

The Allurion gastric balloon is a non-surgical, swallowable weight-loss device consisting of a thin capsule attached to a fine tube, which the patient swallows under physician supervision without the need for endoscopy or anesthesia. Once the capsule reaches the stomach, its position is confirmed by X-ray, and the balloon inside is filled with fluid through the attached tube, which is then gently withdrawn, leaving the balloon to float freely in the stomach where it occupies space and promotes an earlier sense of fullness with smaller meals. The balloon is designed to remain in place for a set period, typically around four months, after which its valve degrades naturally and it empties and passes out of the body on its own, without requiring a removal procedure. It is generally suited to patients with a lower degree of excess weight who prefer a temporary, non-invasive option or who are not candidates for surgery, and it is usually combined with a structured nutrition and lifestyle coaching program to support results. Indian weight-management clinics offering this device typically provide the placement procedure along with dietary guidance over the balloon's duration. Because no anesthesia or incision is involved, patients can generally resume normal activity within a day of placement.
