Elipse Gastric Balloon

Through the years, there has been a demand for more innovative solutions against weight loss. One of them is the swallowable balloon called Allurion Balloon. The swallowable balloon is designed for weight loss by acting as a non-invasive alternative to solutions that involve invasion. The unique approach makes this solution draw considerable attention from those who need effective, less invasive methods of weight management. Nevertheless, many individuals are interested in knowing how the Allurion Balloon works, its effectiveness, and the potential risks taken during its use.

The Allurion Balloon presents a divergent approach in that it is swallowable and, therefore, does not require surgical intervention, making it most applicable to those who prefer less invasive techniques. Its pros notwithstanding, what is still important to know for anyone considering this option is, first and foremost, how well it works and what possible side effects might arise. 

The swallowable weight loss device, Allurion Balloon, is placed within the stomach and then inflates with fluid to take up room in the stomach, creating that full feeling. It makes the stomach more voluminous, hence reducing the total intake of food since people get full easily.

How Does Allurion Balloon Work?

The Allurion Balloon descends with food down the esophagus and into the stomach upon ingestion. It is expanded with a sterilized fluid within the stomach. In this way, the ballooning increases in size and occupies much space inside the stomach, therefore helping to provide a feeling of fullness, thus eating less. As this balloon helps control appetite, it reinforces weight loss when adequate nutrition and consistent exercise accompany it.

Is the Allurion Balloon Effective?

How effective the Allurion Balloon turns out to be also depends on personal factors, like the ability to stick to dietary guidelines and exercise routines. It is believed to help with weight loss by consuming small portions of food and providing a feeling of fullness. Its effectiveness is often best realized when integrated into a healthy lifestyle approach. The balloon aids in weight management but does not take the place of long-term dietary and lifestyle changes.

What are the risks of the Allurion balloon?

As with any other medical device, the use of the Allurion Balloon does come with potential risks and side effects. These include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Rarely, complications may be encountered in the balloon deflation or its migration. These risks should be talked about pre-procedure with a professional in the health field. To have knowledge of some problems that might occur helps to instill confidence in one that one is better prepared and can address and deal with adverse after-effects.

Advantages of the Allurion Balloon

Some of the advantages of the Allurion Balloon are that it is minimally invasive. Unlike the surgical options available for weight loss, the swallowable balloon requires no incisions or anesthesia; this minimizes the total risk and time required for recovery. The swallowed balloon assists in weight loss by providing satiety and can promote adherence to a diet with minimal calories.

Questions & Answers

Gastric Balloon is suitable for candidates with a BMI between 27 and 40, and the individual should be 22 years or older.

Gastric Balloon and Gastric Sleeve are distinct procedures catering to different BMI ranges. Gastric Sleeve is reserved for individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher and involves surgery, carrying inherent surgical risks. In comparison, Gastric Balloon is considered safer with minimal complications, making it a favorable choice for those with a BMI between 27 and 40.

Patients have been shown to lose up to 47% of their excess weight in six months after the gastric balloon. This is an average and it can be more or less according to your diet, exercise and lifestyle.

The initial four weeks following a gastric balloon procedure involve a specific diet. The first two weeks focus on a clear liquid diet, followed by the gradual introduction of soft pureed foods in the subsequent two weeks. Solid foods are reintroduced afterward.

Gastric balloon treatment is generally safe, with minimal complications. Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These reactions are natural responses to the presence of the balloon and often subside within a few days.

No, a gastric balloon will not burst. Although resistant to stomach acid, there is a slight risk of puncture. In the event of a rupture, the balloon is removed from the stomach.

While individuals do not feel pain during the sedated procedure, some may experience discomfort during balloon inflation. Mild discomfort lasting 3-4 days is reported by about one-third of people after balloon insertion.

The duration varies between 4-6 or 12 months, depending on the type of gastric balloon.

Gastric balloon insertion is not recommended during breastfeeding due to potential impacts on milk quantity and quality from the post-balloon diet.

Individuals typically return to daily life and work within days.

Had my sleeve surgery with Dr Namik September 22, I've just returned after speaking with ALex for my mummy makeover.Clinic antalya recommended my surgeon Dr Arif and from our 1st consultation I knew I was going to be in good hands again. Im one week post surgery and healing really well. Dr Arif's work on my breast uplift with reduction, tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo has been perfection I'm so pleased. Staff at hospital were lovely and once again the corner park hotel staff make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. 3 of my family me.bers have now used Dr Namik and I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Where to start. I would highly recommend clinic Antalya. They was brilliant from start to finish. Aleksandra Couldn’t do enough for me before during and after my surgery. Nothing was a problem for her and the team. Dr arif did the best breast uplift and a little reduction for me. Explained everything from start to finish and put me as ease before I had my surgery. I am so happy with my procedure and it exceeded my expectations. When you ever mention surgery in Turkey people seem to be against it, I would highly recommend it. Everything was just five star with the hospital. The care coordinators and the surgeon and his team.

After 9months of research narrowed down to 3 surgeons Dr Namik kept coming out tops, and I believe I chose the best surgeon to do my surgery .Dr Namik and his team have been amazing so kind and caring , Nusret and Aleksandra were my lovley coordinators and made the whole experience feel comfortable and relaxed explaining everything to me as I was a little bit nervous to start with but you are certainly in safe hands , They all work so hard and are there with support anytime you need them ! The level of care was fantastic from all the pre op tests scans/ X-rays bloods etc to the actual surgery itself , the surgery went well and recovery was quick and Dr Namik took time to check in on me multiple times throughout my hospital stay, the hotel was great location overlooking the sea and clean. Two days after surgery I was able to walk around the aquarium and Turkish markets , and felt really good. I would like to Thank Dr Namik and his amazing team for helping me become a healthier me and literally changing my life I’m already down a dress size? and looking forward to the future.Love you all ?

I have just come back from having gastric sleeve surgery. I did all my research on all different places and Clinic Antalya stood out to me the most they have the most amazing reviews which I can vouch for. In the run up to flying out I was in touch with my lovely coordinator Jolanda who was there to answer any questions I had so friendly, I arrived Monday I had so many different tests bloods, xrays, ultrasounds to check I was fit enough for the procedure (which in the UK I would be waiting months for just an xray!) everything was good to go I spoke to my surgeon - Dr Namik what a guy! So professional but at the same time makes you feel so at ease again answering any questions I had. The nurses were all fantastic at the clinic could not do enough for me, I had my surgery Tuesday - no waiting about straight down to theatre and back up for recovery I had pain relief whenever I needed it and believe it or not was back up on my feet after only a couple of hours the nurses helped me walk round as this is good after surgery. Day 3 Wednesday I felt so much better I actually got discharged and taken to the Clinic Antalya office where I spoke with a dietitian again she advised everything I needed to do once I got home, diet plan etc. I was giving all medication to fetch home, protein shakes (3 weeks worth!) and lots of other freebies. We then checked in at the corner park hotel which was a lovely hotel very clean on the beach front absolutely perfect t for recovery skip a few days and I am home settled and can not be more greatful to these wonderful people for changing my life. *can I just add my husband came along with me as my companion, everything was included in the price for him too he got 3 meals a day in the hospital too* Dr Namik, Jolanda and all the nursing staff at Clinic Antalya I will be forever greatful for you all

The best decision I’ve ever made! Jolanda is an excellent coordinator and Dr Namik is an amazing surgeon. I had a gastric sleeve and decided to travel without a support companion (which was a mistake) but with Clinic Antalya I was good hands. I recommend using google translate on your phone when in the hospital as most of the nurses who will be checking up on you wont speak english. If I had to do it all again I would choose Clinic Antalya….EVERYTIME

I was in touch with Aleksandra for almost a year before booking my gastric sleeve with the wonderful Dr Namik and extended team. The experience was complete stress free, the whole team work so hard to make a smooth experience. The day before travelling my husband (companion) broke a tooth. Aleksandra was able to make an appointment for him to get that sorted out quickly while we were there too. Cannot fault this team at all.
