My balloon experience has come to an end. I thank you for your help in choosing the balloon. Thank God, from 97 kg, I lost 76 kg without deprivation. My choice of the balloon changed my life... I will continue with Dr. Shahd’s diet.
Thanks for your advice. Now, do I advise everyone who wants to lose weight without surgery? We advise you to use a balloon.

Very friendly staff and really professional. I went to get a gastric balloon and had a really good experience. Got constant checkups and guidance for the next steps. They truly care for the patient's health and well-being. Everyone is super friendly and helpful.
Usually the parking in this area is horrible, but they have their own parking in the building so that made it very convenient.
Highly highly recommend!

The best Doctor to do the Gastric Balloon Surgery ever. 6 month went very smooth. Even the procedure took less time and no stress was ever there. Just excitement 😆. Thank you Dr Saeed.

BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a numerical measure that assesses a person's weight in relation to their height. It's calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. BMI provides a general indication of body fat and is commonly used to categorize weight status.
هو قياس رقمي يقيم وزن الشخص بالنسبة لطوله. يتم حسابه عن طريق قسمة وزن الفرد في الكيلوجرام على مربع طوله في المتر. يوفر تقديرًا عامًا لنسبة الدهون في الجسم ويُستخدم عادة لتصنيف حالة الوزن.

What is the Allurion Gastric Balloon?A gastric balloon is a weight loss solution that involves placing a soft, inflatable balloon in the stomach to reduce its capacity and help you feel fuller faster and stay fuller for longer. It is considered safe and a less invasive alternative to weight loss surgery. The balloon stays in the stomach for a period of time, usually several months, during which it helps you to eat smaller portions, consume fewer calories, and achieve significant weight loss. After this residence period, the balloon deflates and is removed either through endoscopy, or in the case of the Allurion Balloon, passes out of the body naturally.
-
How is the Balloon placed?The placement takes place during a less than 15-minute outpatient visit. Allurion is the first gastric balloon that requires no endoscopy* or anaesthesia for placement or removal. Simply swallow a capsule containing the deflated Balloon with a catheter: once the Balloon is confirmed to be in your stomach via x-ray, the Balloon is filled with water through a catheter. A second x-ray takes place to ensure the Balloon is filled correctly.
-
How much weight can be lost with the Allurion Program?After approximately 16 weeks of the Allurion Program, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that patients lose on average 10-15% of their total body weight. If you still want to lose more weight, a second Allurion Balloon can be placed after completing the first program where you can expect to lose almost 23% of your total body weight after 12 months.
-
How is the balloon removed?After approximately 16 weeks inside your stomach, a time-activated release valve will open, allowing the balloon to empty and pass naturally through the gastrointestinal tract without the need for a removal procedure.* *In rare cases, the Allurion Balloon may require endoscopic or surgical intervention for removal.
-
What happens after the balloon has passed?After the Allurion Balloon passes, the Allurion Program and the related support from your healthcare team continues for one month. At the end of the Allurion Program, you should continue your healthy lifestyle habits. One clinical study showed that 96% of the average weight loss with the Allurion Balloon was sustained at 1-year follow-up.

-
Will I put the weight back on?A temporary balloon does not mean temporary weight loss. Up to 96% of weight loss may be sustained 12 months after the Allurion Balloon exits the body.1
-
Is the Allurion Program better than dieting alone?Yes! The Allurion Program, a combination of our unique swallowable gastric balloon and a supported lifestyle change program, leads to nearly 2.5 times the weight loss than a lifestyle change program alone, according to an independent study.3 In another study, three-quarters of participants who attempted to lose weight over a year through calorie-controlled or restricted diets (72% of participants), exercise programs or courses (22%), and pharmaceutical treatments (12%), did not achieve a clinically meaningful weight loss defined as at least 5% of their body weight.4 The evidence shows that these isolated methods alone are not enough. The 6-month Allurion Program combines medical support and a weight-loss device (Allurion Gastric Balloon), digital tools (Allurion Connected Scale, Allurion Health Tracker and Allurion App) and nutritional coaching to kick-start your weight loss and help you form lifelong healthy habits to maintain the weight loss.
-
Which is better, weight-loss drugs or Allurion?The best weight management treatment is personal to you, dependent on factors like your goals, health and wellbeing and preferences, etc. There are a range of effective treatments out there, and increasingly people use multiple treatments in combination and succession. Many people find fast, significant and sustainable weight loss following the Allurion Program, meaning for them it is an ideal first-line treatment. For some patients, during or after the Allurion Program, they may consider the addition of weight-loss drugs if advised by their expert clinic team. To find your best treatment option, speak with an Allurion advisor who will be able to direct you to a doctor in our partner clinics.
-
Is it possible to combine the Allurion Program with a weight loss drug?Most people on the Allurion Program achieve their weight loss goals with the Allurion Program alone, but yes, for some it may be possible to combine other therapies, such as weight loss medications, into their journey. Research has shown promising weight loss results when the therapies are combined. In a recent study, 92% of patients achieved their goals with the Program alone. Patients who then combined the Allurion Program with Saxenda® (liraglutide) achieved an average total body weight loss of nearly 19% after approximately 4 months of combined treatment, with no serious adverse events reported. (ref 1) In another recent study, patients following the Allurion Programme with oral semaglutide achieved an average weight loss of over 18% after this combined treatment. Overall, the results of these two studies highlight the safety and effectiveness of this combination therapy, demonstrating its potential to improve weight loss outcomes and duration for some people under the Allurion Program. 1.

What are the differences between the Allurion Balloon and other gastric balloons?The Allurion Balloon is the world’s first and only gastric balloon without the need for surgery, endoscopy* or anesthesia for balloon placement and removal. The balloon is swallowed as a capsule during a 15-minute placement which means less downtime or time off work for our patients. Designed to pass naturally at approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon maximizes weight loss while minimizing time spent in the body, making it a more effective option than longer 6-month endoscopic balloons, where 80% of weight loss is achieved within the first 3 months.(ref 1) The Allurion Balloon is a safer option, with fewer side effects. It has a significantly lower intolerance rate compared to 12-month endoscopic balloons (1-3% vs 14.4%) (ref 2,3), with an overall serious adverse event rate that is 10 times lower than other liquid-filled balloons.(ref 4-10) Made from vegan polyurethane, a material that’s much thinner and more flexible than the silicone material in endoscopic balloons, the Allurion Balloon flexes and adapts as your stomach moves, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
