What is Swallowable Gastric Balloon?
Swallowable Gastric Balloon, It is the world's first and only procedure-free gastric balloon that does not require endoscopy and anaesthesia in application and removal. The therapeutic effect is the same as the gastric balloons used in the treatment of obesity disease.
It is a material that increases the patient's diet compliance by taking up space in the stomach and helps dieting.
Medical science has recognised gastric balloon therapy as a treatment for obesity since the 1980s. All balloons in the literature are balloons that are inserted and removed under endoscopy and anaesthesia. In 2010, the Swallowable Gastric Balloon, which was started to be developed in 2010, has become the most widely applied balloon treatment worldwide today, eliminating the need for endoscopy and anaesthesia.
Swallowable Gastric Balloon, It is a balloon made of extremely thin polyurethane material compressed into a herbal capsule. this is the reason why it is called capsule or pill balloon. the size of the capsule is the size of an antibiotic or vitamin capsule. % 99 of patients can easily swallow the capsule.
Since the swallowable gastric balloon structure is thin and its shape is elliptical, it causes less nausea and cramps after the procedure. This allows the patient to get used to the balloon in the stomach in a shorter time.
Swallowable Gastric Balloon remains in the stomach for 16 weeks. After the 16th week, the lid of the balloon is opened and the liquid in its content is discharged and the balloon is completely deflated and passes through the intestines thanks to its thin structure and is excreted from the body through defecation.
The Swallowable Gastric Balloon programme is a 6-month process, the first 4 months with balloon and the next 2 months without balloon. Program takibini kolaylaştırmak ve motivasyonu artırmak için Allurion Dijital Tartı, Allurion akıllı saat ve Allurion mobil uygulaması kişiye bu süreçte eşlik eder. Diyetisyen kontrolleri ile total vücut ağırlığının %10-15 inin verilmesi hedeflenir.
% 95 of people who maintain healthy eating habits with the Swallowable Gastric Balloon programme maintain the weight they lose for 1 year.
Is Swallowable Gastric Balloon Harmful?
The Swallowable Gastric Balloon is a balloon that has been open to development and change since the day it started to be used. In large-scale studies, no permanent disease, disability or life-threatening event has been encountered since 2015.
Who Can Swallowable Gastric Balloon Be Applied?
Swallowable Gastric Balloon is a medical device developed to help dieting in patients who have difficulty in weight control with diet and exercise, to get fast and permanent results.
- It can be applied in patients aged 18-65 years with a body mass index of 27 and above.
- It can also be applied in obese people who are unfavourable to have surgery due to comorbid health problems
- It can be performed in patients who are inconvenienced by endoscopy or anaesthesia.
- Swallowable Gastric Balloon cannot be applied in pregnant women.
- Swallowable Gastric Balloon cannot be applied in patients who have undergone stomach, small intestine and large intestine surgery.
How to Apply Swallowable Gastric Balloon?
Swallowable Gastric Balloon application starts with a preparation of about 5 days. People use a stomach acid suppressant before the procedure and make a preparatory diet that allows the stomach wall to be cleaned. Before the procedure, the nutrition programme is prepared by expert bariatric dietitians.
At the time of the procedure, the capsule is swallowed with approximately 500 ml of water. The balloon placed on the tongue by the physician can be swallowed easily with the help of water. For patients who are concerned about swallowing, when a thin carrier guide is passed through the inflation rope of the balloon, the swallowing process is completed with the support of the physician.
After the position of the capsule is confirmed, it is inflated with its own special fluid within 4-4.5 minutes through the inflation thread left outside. This fluid is the same as the fluid given as serum intravenously. No pain is expected during inflation. When approximately half of the total volume is inflated, the patient begins to feel fullness in the stomach. When the filling is completed, the position of the balloon is again confirmed by X-ray. after verification, the procedure is terminated by pulling the rope by the doctor.
What Happens After Swallowable Gastric Balloon?
After Swallowable Gastric Balloon, complaints such as nausea and cramps experienced in endoscopic gastric balloon are experienced at a very low rate. More than half of our patients have no complaints. In the remaining half, complaints lasting 1-3 days and gradually decreasing in severity are usually easily relieved with tablet form medications taken orally. During this period, you will receive full support from the clinical support team to help you overcome the adaptation process easily.
After Swallowable Gastric Balloon, people can continue their daily life and work. There is no loss of labour force or need for rest.
How is Nutrition After Swallowable Gastric Balloon?

They may feel stomach contractions, but it will not be a problem when they learn to take liquid foods slowly.
In the first week, which we call the adaptation process after the Swallowable Gastric Balloon, a diet programme is applied in which the consistency of food will gradually increase. This period includes liquid, thin puree, thick puree and solid food period. Since each person's adaptation period is different, the consistency change times also vary. The aim is to minimise the complaints you may experience during the adaptation period.
Your permanent nutrition programme is completely tailor-made and closely monitored by expert bariatric dietitians.
How to Remove Swallowable Gastric Balloon?
The swallowable gastric balloon does not require any removal procedure and therefore does not require anaesthesia or endoscopy. After the 16th week, the lid of the balloon is opened and the liquid in its content is discharged and the balloon is completely deflated and passes through the intestines thanks to its thin structure and is excreted from the body through defecation.
If there is a situation requiring early removal of the balloon - which is highly unlikely - the Swallowable Gastric Balloon, like all other balloons in the world, is removed with special devices under endoscopy and anaesthesia.
How Much Are Swallowable Gastric Balloon Prices?
The Swallowable Gastric Balloon programme varies according to the current exchange rate, the clinic and imaging centre where the application is performed.
Is There an Alternative to Swallowable Gastric Balloon?
There is another swallowable balloon which is not yet widely used in the world and is not imported in our country due to its cost. However, the placement of this balloon is performed in 3 sessions and its removal is performed endoscopically after 6 months. There is not enough scientific data on the safety and side effects of this balloon.
Therefore, Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon is the only non-procedural balloon in the world that has been proven to be effective and safe.
What are the Advantages of Swallowable Gastric Balloon?
Swallowable Gastric Balloon is a procedure consisting of swallowing a capsule-shaped balloon with the help of water. It is very advantageous because it does not require anaesthesia, endoscopy, surgery and the procedure can be performed while the patient is fully conscious and awake.
- Swallowable Gastric Balloon is an ideal weight loss tool for patients who are hesitant about anaesthesia or have health problems that prevent them from receiving anaesthesia.
- It is a great advantage that the procedure is completed in about 15 minutes and the patient can continue his daily life.
- Since the procedure is an easy method to be applied by the person and the doctor, a motivated and stress-free start to the weight loss process is ensured.
There are very few complaints during the adaptation period after Swallowable Gastric Balloon. The main reasons for this are the elliptical shape of the balloon and the very thin and smooth material. For this reason, the need for early removal of % 10 - 15 seen in endoscopic balloons is around % 1 in Swallowable Gastric Balloon.
In the Swallowable Gastric Balloon, after the 16th week, the lid of the balloon is opened and the liquid in its content is discharged and the balloon is completely deflated and passes through the intestines thanks to its thin structure and is excreted from the body through defecation. so there is no need for any procedure for removal.
In the Swallowable Gastric Balloon programme, it is very easy to follow the person with Allurion Digital Scale, Allurion Digital Watch and Mobile Application. Only one clinic visit is sufficient for the procedure. With this feature, it is a very comfortable application for patients living abroad or in different cities from the clinic, reducing additional costs.

What is the Difference Between Swallowable Gastric Balloon and Other Balloons?
The differences between swallowable gastric balloons and endoscopic balloons can be examined in terms of application and removal methods, side effects and complications after the procedure.
- Swallowable Gastric Balloon application is a procedure that involves swallowing the capsule with water without any anaesthesia and endoscopic intervention. No intervention is required for removal. When the balloon expires, it deflates in the stomach and is naturally excreted from the body.
- Endoscopic gastric balloons, as the name suggests, are performed by endoscopy and of course under anaesthesia. It is removed with the same procedures.
- While nausea and cramps during the adaptation period after the procedure are quite low in swallowable balloon and rarely require medication, the adaptation period after endoscopic balloon application is slightly longer and the need for drug treatment is slightly higher.
What is the Allurion Assurance Plus Guarantee?
The Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon Programme guarantees that the balloon will not naturally release before 90 days. If it comes out before 90 days, a new balloon will be refunded.
*The Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon Programme financially covers very rare cases where endoscopic removal of the balloon is medically mandated, such as pancreatitis and hyperinflation.
