Introduction

What Is Gastric Balloon Treatment For Weight Loss?

Gastric Balloon is an advanced weight loss treatment that has garnered popularity as a reliable weight loss treatment as it’s non-invasive and doesn’t require endoscopy or anesthesia. It is an excellent solution for individuals who are overweight and can’t lose weight through other methods. It’s also a fantastic solution for individuals who don’t want to go for weight loss surgeries.

Gastric Balloon treatment by Allurion is a 15-minute treatment for weight loss. In this treatment, the patients are required to swallow the Allurion capsule, under the supervision of an Allurion certified doctor, which is then filled with saline water. The balloon makes the patient feel fuller, facilitating powerful appetite control and promoting weight loss. The gastric balloon treatment helps lose as much as 15% of the total body weight in just 16 weeks of placement.

At Pristyn Care, we provide advanced gastric balloon treatment in association with Allurion to help patients achieve their desired body weight while maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.

How Does The Allurion Gastric Balloon Treatment Process Work

The Allurion Gastric Balloon treatment process isn’t very complex. The process begins with booking a consultation with one of Pristyn Care’s expert healthcare providers. They will assess your current weight, along with other necessary information, to determine if you’re eligible for the treatment. They may perform a physical examination and suggest some diagnostic tests to confirm the aforementioned.

After confirming your eligibility for the treatment, the healthcare provider will schedule the date for your treatment. The treatment will be scheduled with an Allurion-certified doctort In the meantime, the doctor may give you some tips to help you prepare for the procedure:

You may be asked to refrain from eating anything for 10 to 12 hours before the procedure.
You’ll be strictly advised not to consume anything liquid starting 2 hours before the procedure.
The doctor may ask you to take an antacid before visiting the clinic. You may receive this guideline on the day of your initial consultation.

The Allurion gastric balloon placement procedure works in the following steps:

On the day of the placement, the doctor will ask you to swallow the capsule containing the balloon with a glass of water. It’s as simple as popping a normal pill. This will be done under the supervision of an Allurion-certified doctor.
Once the balloon is in place, the doctor will use a sterile solution to inflate it.
A quick x-ray will be performed to check if the balloon is placed correctly, and rule out other complications.

It’s as simple and seamless as that! The balloon will occupy space in the stomach, giving you a sense of fullness. You’ll feel satiated, which will help you limit your consumption of food and, in turn, lose weight. The balloon will eventually deflate and exit the body on its own after 16 weeks of placement.

Allurion has made the process of tracking weight loss progression simpler with the help of its Health Tracker Watch, Connected Scale, and an advanced app. Both Pristyn Care and Allurion’s expert dietitians help patients throughout the course of the gastric balloon treatment by aiding them in diet selection and suggesting lifestyle modifications that can help them maintain their weight even after treatment.
