Losing weight is a long term process. It is a matter of changing your life and habits, rather than just eating less. Deciding to lose weight is a commitment of your time and effort. For increasing numbers of people, it is also a commitment of their money. The diet industry is a growing industry, and many would-be dieters spend lots of money on all sorts of diet plans. Compared to many other weight loss plans and diets, the Allurion Gastric Balloon is a cost effective solution to maximise your weight loss journey.
What is an Allurion Balloon?
An Allurion balloon is a weight loss gastric balloon. It is inserted into your stomach, and then inflated with water. The balloon sits in your stomach for approximately 16 weeks.e. As it is inflated, it partially fills your stomach, so that you feel full, as if your stomach was full of food. At around 4 months, the balloon slowly deflates, as water is released into your stomach. Once the balloon is empty, it will pass out of your stomach and through your digestive system, until it exits into the toilet.
Who Needs a Gastric Balloon?
Gastric Balloons are not for everyone. They are for people who are overweight, and have struggled to lose weight before. A minimum BMI of 27 is required to be eligible for a Gastric Balloon. As they are long lasting, they are for people who might need to take longer to lose weight. A gastric balloon is for people who need the help to start changing their lifestyle that a balloon can bring.
What is the Cost of an Allurion Gastric Balloon?
There are different types of Allurion Balloons, depending on the length of time that the balloon has to last, and the process involved in fitting it.
