I booked a call with an Advisor Dilara Yurdakul. She was very helpful, very informative about the whole process. I had my placement and it was a great experience for me in terms of clinic team, weight loss and after support. I would recommend Allurion, thanks you to you and your staff.

I had a consult with Joy, and she was very helpful and informative. I am still thinking about the balloon as my GP has recommended surgery, but I am impressed with the information I was given and will speak to the clinic.

Si possono dare 5 stelle NEGATIVE? Dopo 10 giorni ho iniziato a stare malissimo, vomito e nausea che mi impedivano il normale svolgimento della vita e del lavoro. Cessato il vomito la fame c'era eccome. E' servito solo a spendere BEN EURO 2.500,00 e mi hanno abbonato l'ultimo pagamento

Spoke with Rachel earlier about this process. She was friendly explaining everything to me and what the process was. Thanks Rachel appreciate your help with this matter 😊

I was very sceptical about the Allurion balloon. I must admit the adverts on Instagram etc. all seemed quite farfetched. I decided to go through with it, when I was approved to have it paid for through my Superannuation, which meant my only out of pocket expenses would be medication taken during the process. I have lost approx., 15 kilograms in 18 weeks and my family and friends keep being shocked in my weight/shape change. I am now considering a career change, because I find fitness is something that I can more readily approach. I no longer get joint pains when walking or using stairs, and I am sleeping better and have greater mobility. The first 6 days after placement were extremely unpleasant. I won't butter this up, I genuinely was heavily considering getting it removed on day 2-4 due to the fact I couldn't eat at all without vomiting. Once day 6 rolled around I realised I was good on soft liquid-ish foods such as custard proteins etc. I lost 4.5kgs within the first week due to my body not really knowing what to do. The following week it all settled down, and I was able to reintroduce foods that I was more accustomed to. I found I was comfortably able to move to a 1550 calorie diet without feeling hungry, and after 4 weeks on the program started Mounjaro to reduce the snacking that I was tempted by. I now am fairly confident that my balloon has broken down (I believe I'm on week 19) and my weight has stayed low, and I am remaining on my 1550 calorie diet. I think this is a great program if you have the flexibility to take about a week off work and are willing to forsake some sleep etc. You will experience reflux, cramps, discomfort and nausea for a good week, and I would suggest getting yourself on Esomeporazole for reflux for the duration of the program. I have not been as skinny as I am now since I was a teenager, and I have genuinely battled with my weight for a decade. I will rate this 5 starts and I have suggested the program to some colleagues who are battling their weight loss. My lessons learnt were: 1. Take a week or perhaps 10 days off work or expectations (have a partner watch the kids etc) because you'll feel really REALLY gross. 2. Consider it a way to help you make the lifestyle change. I found I needed to start buying ready-made meals like MyMuscleChef etc. to start better tracking my calorie intake. and this means I had to use MyFitnessPal to track my intakes to better understand what changes I needed to make to continue this path moving forward 3. USE THE MEDICATION! They give you a lot of medication to reduce cramps and help you sleep - I was a 'trooper' and tried to not use it. By day three my partner told me I was being an idiot and to 'take the damn pills'. I would never tell her, but she was right. 4. Avoid greasy, fatty or oily foods. I have found I cannot eat Pizza at all. But if I go to the pub I can have a steak or even an Entree for a full meal with no issues. Good luck! I think it's worthwhile.

El balón no sirve absolutamente para nada. Os lo digo de verdad. No te entrampes en esto. Antes de empezar tienes que estar una semana antes ya con dieta super super estricta, casi sin comer. Y 3 días antes de ponértelo, solo puedes beber 3 batidos al día que también valen una pasta y que no tienen nada de saciantes. Ya antes de empezar has perdido 2 kilos por no comer. Luego te ponen el balón, te lo inflan a más no poder, en mi caso me sentó fatal, tuve que pedir hasta una baja médica por 1 mes, los vómitos eran horrorosos, de madrugada no paraba, no podía dormir y me sentía enferma como nunca en la vida. Así claro que pierdes peso…vomita lo poco que comes durante 1 mes entero, a ver si no pierdes peso !! Con todo eso apenas perdí 7 kilos, que en cuanto tu estómago se acostumbra a tener esa bola y que además poco a poco se va desinflando dentro ya tienes hambre. Así que el balón se siente 0. No hace nada. En resumen, si te pones a hacer deporte y dieta que es básicamente lo que te van a decir que tienes que hacer, perderás lo mismo pero sin dejarte la salud. Un saludo!

El programa Allurion transformó mi vida. He logrado bajar 30 kilos en cinco meses, tras la instalación del balón gástrico. Sigo un plan de alimentación saludable y siento que mis días se han liberado de malestares que constantemente me afectaban. Estoy construyendo bienestar ¡Gracias por incentivar a una mejor vida!

Spoke with Terry for 10 minutes and was provided with the information for the follow up call by the clinic. Happy with the level of information given today. Waiting on the clinic to get in touch and see what the next step will be.
