The gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight-loss option for people who want a meaningful head start without an operation. A soft silicone balloon is placed in the stomach and filled, gently reducing the space available for food so you feel full sooner and eat less.
How the gastric balloon works
The balloon is introduced during a short, sedated endoscopic procedure — no incisions, no scars. Once in place it partially fills the stomach, which slows gastric emptying and supports smaller, more controlled portions. It typically stays in place for six to twelve months depending on the type used.
The swallowable version, the Allurion balloon, is taken as a capsule, with no endoscopy and no anaesthetic, in about 20 minutes. It stays in place for about four months, then empties by itself and passes naturally.
What recovery looks like
Most people return home the same day. The first few days follow a graduated diet, after which normal daily activity resumes. Follow-up reviews are part of the package, and your coordinator stays your link to the doctor after you are home.
