Hard to swallow? We make it stress free!
The Allurion Balloon is drawing a lot of attention when it comes to an effective weight loss solution, and rightly so. If you are looking to ‘Kick Start’ your weight loss journey, the Allurion Program offers rapid weight loss (10 – 15% total body weight loss in 16 weeks).
A question we get asked every time is ‘will I be able to swallow it?’, the short answer is, YES! In over 120,000 balloon placements worldwide, 99.9% of patients can swallow the capsule, either by themselves, or assisted by the doctor.
At BGOS we are here to make sure, your experience is positive, and you are relaxed throughout the placement. Dr Lim, our experienced Allurion Doctor will take the lead and place the balloon using the ‘stylet assisted’ technique. So, you can sit back, relax, and look forward to starting your weight loss journey. If you do want to swallow the capsule yourself, great, its as simple as it sounds.
A stylet is a specifically designed, fine guide wire, used to help you swallow the capsule. All you need to do is initiate swallowing, and Dr Lim does the rest. The balloon will be guided down into your stomach within a few seconds.
EASY!
