Très mauvaise expérience, énorme perte d’argent. J’étais capable de manger presque normalement au bout de 10 jours. Gardez votre argent!

What an absolute waste of money! The balloon was lucky if it lasted 12 weeks. Doctors stopped returning messages when having issues, nutrition consultant stopped responding or didn’t for days. Then when messaging the sales person they don’t respond and just contact the person to respond to you on the app. I knew 100% when it was working because I could barely eat a thing then next thing no limitations when it is supposed to last 16 weeks. So the Allurion Access Medical Balloon was an absolute waste of money! What a total sham and customer service a disgrace. Whatever you do, go a different route and save your money!!!

Don't waste your money! I had the Allurion Balloon on 3rd January ay Dr Mani's New Me Health Clinic in Turkey. The whole process of trying to swallow the balloon was (in my opinion) horrendous! I had cramps all the next couple of days - which was expected and was warned about. I struggled to eat for the first few days and was on soup and protein shakes. In the first week I went from 80kg (12st 6lbs) to 77.7kg (12st 2lb). I lost no more weight. By 20th Jan I contacted the clinic to advise I wasn't losing any weight even though my food portions had reduced and I was tracking calories on MyFitnessPal. I was asked to send 3 day consumption to the patient co-ordinator. I was told even though my food intake was low in calories, it was lacking in nutrition. I was told that it was not possible to get results if I wasn't eating right - I actually thought I was, high protein - low fat! In early February I advise the clinic how disappointed I was as still no more weight loss, nut was told it was still early in the process and to give it time. Mid February I was not feeling the balloon anymore and asked if it could of come away, I was told that the only way to tell is if I paid for an ultrasound or an X-Ray but it was still early stage at 47th day - so to be patient. By end of March - nothing had changed, no further weight loss, appetite was back to normal, felt like I had not even had the balloon. Was advised that I may not feel the effectiveness of the balloon but to continue dieting... In my case, it made no difference to me whatsoever after the first week. Was a complete waste of £2500. Wish I had not bothered having it done.

I've been struggling with feeling hungry for loosing weight and keeping the lost weight for years. Even though my BMI is 27, so not too high, I still have troubles with loosing my weight due to feeling hungry all the time. I hoped that the Allurion balloon will help to manage hunger and develop a habit of eating with smaller portions. I was ready to pay a lot of money for that, since it costs really a lot (approx. 3500 euros). The balloon was easy to swallow, 1-2 days of adaptation was hard but manageable, but already then I experienced strongest hunger ever. Than, when I started eating hard food again, portions of food enough to make me feel full was indeed smaller, however, my stomach stretched pretty fast and even though I had the balloon inside, so I was needing almost same portions size as without the balloon. Maybe if time with the balloon was longer and if there was more input from the nutritionist it would be more helpful, but my balloon left me in 92 days, so there was too little of time to change my eating habits. About the weight loss: I have lost around 3 kg with the balloon, which I actually started to loose when I was back to doing sport, not straight after balloon implantation. Thus, bottom line is that I surely wouldn't recommend the Allurion balloon program, since it simply not worth it. Maybe it is more helpful with larger BMI, but with BMI 27 there was almost no effect with insane amount of money lost on it.

After countless conversations with Arabella who continued to tell me how wonderful it was and that the support would be so good with diet plans etc, I soon discovered that it was not. Everyone seems to say the same as me. First few days no eating just water and fluid. I have lost nothing and am counting the days until it is dispersed. Was offered to remove it early for another £1000. My whole mood and life has been hell. The feeling of hunger is constant. I expected some kind of nutrition plan but instead was told to eat smaller portions. Then after about an hour I am hungry again. Many suggestions have been made including trying to follow the slimfast liquid plan. Could have done that without this balloon. With regards to previous plans I have followed I have done so religiously and thought that this would give me everything. It has gave me nothing but an empty purse. PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS. DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.

I’m my case the Gastric balloon didn’t work. The company is “Weight Doctors”It was So much money for nothing. I had a very hard diarrhoea for a month and when I ask many times to my coach if that came for the balloon, she told me “no, it’s absolutely no for the balloon, you need to talk with your GP”. I’ m was to my GP making many tests for a week and in the end, all the results was negative. Finally after 4 weeks, a doctor from Weight Doctors call me, and he confirmed the diarrhoea came for sure because of the balloon!!!!’ Crazy! Anyway I didn’t loose weight….

Yo me lo puse el 13 de febrero en clínica bruselas (Madrid) y ha día de hoy son 23kg los que he perdido, me puse la meta de 30kg en lo que dura el programa pero yo creo que serán más kg, al principio constó mucho, como todo es un esfuerzo, pero estoy súper contenta con los resultados, al día de hoy la ansiedad que tenía ya la voy controlando y con muchas ganas de perder más peso, cuando me lo puse sabía que no me iva a quedar perfecta pero a sido el empujón que necesitaba porque sin ellos se que no lo hubiera echo, como tantas dietas he probado y no túve fuerza de voluntad, pero con el balón no te queda mas narices que hacerlo, asique lo recomiendo un montón para personas que necesites el empujón para hacerlo, porque la enfermedad de obesidad es muy mental y con el balón se puede conseguir, no os vais a repentir
