Proven Results

We have helped numerous patients achieve significant weight loss with the Allurion Balloon and other non-surgical weight loss options.

The Allurion Balloon is a swallowable gastric balloon that is used as a temporary tool to help with weight loss. Unlike traditional gastric balloons, the Allurion Balloon does not require surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia for placement or removal. Instead, it is swallowed in a capsule form during a brief outpatient visit. Once in the stomach, the balloon is filled with liquid, creating a feeling of fullness, which helps reduce your food intake.

The balloon remains in your stomach for approximately 16 weeks, during which you’ll receive comprehensive support from our team to help you establish healthy eating habits and a more active lifestyle.

The Allurion Balloon works by occupying space in the stomach, which slows the passage of food and reduces the amount of food you can comfortably eat. This leads to a significant reduction in calorie intake, helping you lose weight effectively.

Non-Surgical Placement

The Allurion Balloon is placed during a quick outpatient procedure at our Melbourne clinic located at Capital Radiology in Camberwell. You simply swallow the capsule containing the deflated balloon, which is then filled with a safe liquid once it reaches your stomach.

Appetite Control

With the balloon in place, you’ll feel fuller faster and stay satisfied for longer periods. This helps curb overeating and allows you to focus on making healthier food choices.

Gradual Weight Loss

Over the 16 weeks that the balloon is in place, most patients experience steady and significant weight loss. This period also provides the opportunity to develop long-term, sustainable habits for maintaining your weight loss after the balloon is removed.

Choosing the Allurion Balloon at Complete Weight Loss Solutions offers several benefits:

Non-Surgical Procedure: No surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia is required for placement or removal.
Quick and Simple: The balloon is placed during a short outpatient visit, allowing you to return to your normal activities almost immediately.
Effective Weight Loss: Most patients lose 10-15% of their total body weight during the 16 weeks the balloon is in place.
Appetite Control: The balloon helps you feel fuller with smaller portions, making it easier to reduce calorie intake.
Establish Healthy Habits: The program includes nutritional and lifestyle support to help you develop lasting habits for maintaining weight loss after the balloon is removed.
Temporary Solution: The balloon is naturally expelled after 16 weeks, eliminating the need for a follow-up procedure.

The Allurion Balloon is ideal for individuals who:

Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 and 40.
Are seeking a non-surgical weight loss option.
Have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
Are committed to making lifestyle changes to support long-term weight loss.
Are not eligible for, or prefer to avoid, more invasive weight loss surgeries.

At Complete Weight Loss Solutions, we conduct thorough assessments to determine if the Allurion Balloon is the right fit for your weight loss goals.

While the Allurion Balloon is a safe and effective weight loss tool, it’s important to be aware of potential risks and considerations:

Initial Discomfort

Some patients may experience nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort during the first few days after the balloon is placed. These symptoms typically resolve as your body adjusts.

Weight Regain

As with any weight loss method, there is a risk of regaining weight after the balloon is expelled if healthy eating and lifestyle habits are not maintained.

Temporary Solution

The Allurion Balloon is not a permanent weight loss solution. It is designed to be a tool to help kickstart your weight loss journey, and long-term success depends on your commitment to lasting lifestyle changes.

Other Risks

In addition, there are risks including gastric outlet obstruction and premature deflation of the balloon. These risk will be discussed with your surgeon ahead of the procedure.

At Complete Weight Loss Solutions, we provide comprehensive support to help you manage any side effects and maintain your weight loss after the balloon is removed.
