Lose 25-30% of Excess Body Weight with Allurion Gastric Balloon Kenya
The Allurion Gastric Balloon is an innovative, temporary, non-surgical weight loss device swallowed as a small capsule and filled with liquid directly in the stomach. By taking up space in the stomach, it naturally curbs your appetite, induces a feeling of fullness, and makes it easy to eat smaller portion sizes without hunger or cravings.
- Quick Procedure: 15–20 minutes walk-in consultation.
- 100% Non-Surgical: No endoscopy, no anesthesia, and no surgery required.
- Eligibility: For individuals with BMI ≥ 27 to 35+.
- 4-Month Program: Naturally deflates and passes safely through the body after ~16 weeks.
Benefits
- Non-Surgical: No incisions, no scars, and no hospital admission.
- No Endoscopy or Sedation: Easily swallowed in a capsule with a glass of water.
- Effective Weight Loss: Average loss of 10–15% of total body weight (25–30% excess weight) in 16 weeks.
- Reduces Hunger: Induces constant satiety, helping you effortlessly maintain healthy portions.
- Natural Passage: Deflates automatically and passes naturally without removal procedures.
Disadvantages
- Temporary Treatment: The balloon resides in the stomach for approximately 16 weeks.
- Early Digestive Adjustment: Nausea and stomach cramping are common in the first 48–72 hours.
- Requires Lifestyle Reprogramming: Long-term weight maintenance depends on sustainable habit change.
- Not Suitable for Prior Gastric Surgeries: Prior stomach resection is a contraindication.
- Potential for Weight Regain: If pre-balloon overeating habits resume without Trifecta support.
Common Side Effects
- Nausea (60–80%): Very common initially, well-managed with prophylactic anti-nausea medications.
- Vomiting (30–50%): Usually subsides within 2 to 3 days as the stomach accommodates the balloon.
- Stomach Cramps (30–50%): Temporary muscular cramping during the first few days.
- Acid Reflux/Heartburn (15–30%): Easily controlled with daily proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs).
- Bloating (10–25%): Settles within the first week of liquid-to-soft food progression.
Main Complications
- Early Deflation (<1%): Premature deflation and excretion before the 16-week window.
- Bowel Obstruction (<0.1%): Extremely rare migration issue requiring medical assessment.
- Gastric Irritation/Ulceration (<1%): Prevented with prescribed antacid therapy.
- Severe Persistent Vomiting (1–3%): May require intravenous hydration or early endoscopic retrieval.
How Does the Allurion Balloon Work?
During a quick 20-minute outpatient visit, you swallow a small vegan capsule containing the deflated balloon, connected to a thin micro-catheter.
A quick positioning X-ray confirms the capsule is safely inside your stomach. The balloon is then filled with 550 ml of sterile liquid. A second quick X-ray verifies full inflation, and the catheter is gently detached and removed through your mouth.
At around 16 weeks, a timed release valve naturally opens, the balloon deflates, and it passes harmlessly through your digestive tract during normal bowel movements.
