Allurion Gastric Balloon (formerly Elipse)
Let us tell you..
Putting the Allurion Balloon in place
Fitting the Allurion Balloon takes about 15 minutes!
The balloon comes in a capsule attached to a thin
filling tube. You swallow the capsule with a glass of water and once your doctor checks the balloon is in your
stomach with a quick x-ray, the balloon is filled with fluid. The filling tube is then gently removed leaving
the balloon in your stomach.
Watch the video to see how it’s done.
Living with the Allurion Balloon
You may experience some nausea and discomfort during the first week after the balloon is fitted, but we will supply you with medications to make you feel more comfortable. We will provide detailed information regarding the risks and benefits of the Allurion™
Eating with the Allurion Balloon
We may recommend that you only drink liquids for the first couple of days and that you move to solid foods when comfortable. The Allurion balloon will help you feel fuller allowing you to eat smaller portions. Advice will be given throughout the programme on following a healthy balanced diet, mindful eating and changing habits to achieve optimal results.
Removing the Allurion Balloon*
The Allurion Balloon removes itself – no need to visit your doctor. After about 16 weeks part of the balloon dissolves, and the balloon will then empty itself and pass naturally.

Simple
Placement of the Allurion Balloon takes about 15 minutes and just involves a quick x-ray once you have swallowed the ‘gastric pill’. You can return to work the same day.
Effective
Most people can expect to lose between 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 stones over 4 months, with half of that weight loss occurring in the first month.
Support
Combined with Phoenix Health’s supervised nutrition programme the Allurion balloon can help you lose weight and develop lasting habits to help you maintain your weight loss.
Meet your dietitian, begin nutritional and exercise coaching and learn how to maximise the impact of the Allurion program.
The Allurion Balloon is swallowed during a simple outpatient procedure that does not require surgery, endoscopy, or anaesthesia.
Diet and healthy lifestyle coaching continues.
We provide you with a set of smart scales which wirelessly connect to an app, allowing your dietitian to track your progress and offer real life advice and support.
After four months, the balloon empties and passes naturally without the need for any medical procedure.
After the balloon passes, you have regained control over your eating habits and your team will help you continue making healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices for long-term weight management.
