Allurion Stomach Balloon
The Allurion program is an innovative program centered around a gastric balloon and digital tools for weight reduction. Groruddalsklinikken is the first clinic in Eastern Norway to offer this new treatment.
The Allurion balloon fills up your stomach so you’re less hungry – making it easier to eat better, eat less and create healthy habits that last.
The balloon only lasts a few months, but the result can last a lifetime
Month 1
Training in a healthy lifestyle
In this phase you will meet the team, begin training in nutrition and exercise. As well as finding out how to get the most out of the Allurion program provided by Groruddalsklinikken.
Month 2-5
Weight loss with the Allurion program
In this phase, the Allurion balloon will be placed during a simple outpatient procedure. This means that it will not require any surgical intervention, endoscopy or anesthesia.
Here you will receive more training on diet and a healthy lifestyle.
You will find support in your Allurion connected scale, Health Tracker Watch activity bracelet and mobile app to monitor your progress. It will enable you to share your success with the doctor in real time. You will receive direct feedback from your doctor.
After approximately 16 weeks, the balloon will deflate and come out naturally without any medical intervention.*
Month 6 and thereafter
Lose weight and keep it off
A temporary balloon does not mean a temporary weight loss. With the Allurion program delivered by Groruddalsklinikken, up to 95% of the average weight loss is maintained at 1 year of follow-up.**
With the support of the health team, you can continue with your new diet and exercise habits to maintain better health and a healthy weight.
Get a kick start on the road to weight loss
The Allurion program is a comprehensive and supported program for a healthy lifestyle, centered around a gastric balloon and digital tools for weight reduction.
Understand how gastric balloons works
Gastric balloons are in widespread use and provide more significant and sustained weight loss than diet and exercise alone.
Gastric balloons take up space in the stomach, which increases the feeling of satiety and reduces the speed at which food passes. This gives you the opportunity to take a “holiday from hunger”, choose healthier food, and avoid the cravings that often accompany a normal diet.
Transform your waistline with a healthier lifestyle
The Allurion balloon is a new method of weight loss. It does not require surgery, endoscopy* or anesthesia.
The balloon is swallowed during a 15-minute outpatient procedure. About 16 weeks later, the air deflates and comes out naturally.* It’s a convenient and safe way to kick-start a healthier lifestyle.
On average, patients lose 10–15% of
body weight thanks to the Allurion program. 1
