What is it?

About Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon

The Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon—also known as the Elipse Balloon or gastric balloon pill—is a revolutionary, non-surgical weight loss solution designed to help people lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike traditional intragastric balloons, this one requires no surgery, no endoscopy, and no anesthesia.

The balloon comes in the form of a capsule pill (swallowable balloon) that you simply swallow with water during a short outpatient visit. Once the balloon reaches your stomach, it is filled with liquid to expand and occupy space, making you feel full sooner and eat less.

How Does the Swallowable Gastric Balloon Work?

The Allurion gastric balloon works by creating a feeling of early satiety. Here’s how the process typically unfolds:

  1. Swallowing the balloon pill – You swallow the capsule under medical supervision.

  2. Balloon inflation – Once in the stomach, the balloon is filled with liquid through a thin catheter.

  3. No anesthesia or surgery – The procedure usually takes less than 20 minutes, with no downtime.

  4. Weight loss support – The balloon stays in the stomach for about 16 weeks, reducing portion sizes and calorie intake.

  5. Natural elimination – After this period, the balloon deflates and passes naturally through the digestive system.

Comparison

Allurion Swallowable Balloon vs Endoscopic Gastric Balloon

While both methods aim to support weight loss, there are clear differences between the Allurion swallowable gastric balloon and the standart endoscopic gastric balloon. The Elipse balloon is unique because it does not require endoscopy, anesthesia, or hospital stay. Patients simply swallow the capsule, and after four months it passes naturally. In contrast, endoscopic balloons need placement and removal through a procedure performed in a hospital setting.

For many international patients choosing Turkey, the convenience of the Allurion swallowable balloon is a major advantage. However, endoscopic balloons may be recommended in certain cases, depending on medical history and doctor evaluation.
