Allurion Gastric Balloon Cost in Delhi

Overview of Allurion Balloon Treatment
Allurion balloon treatment is a non-invasive 15 minute outpatient procedure performed without anesthesia or endoscopy. 

In gastric balloon treatment, allurion capsules are used and inflated by the saline water to turn them into balloons to reduce appetite and ultimately reduce weight. Weight loss treatment with allurion gastric balloons is managed by a 6 months weight loss programme in which the patient's weight and diet is monitored connected with the allurion health trackers. 

Procedure of Allurion Gastric Balloon Treatment 
The procedure is performed under the supervision of an experienced doctor or healthcare professional without the use of anesthesia. The balloon used in the procedure is known as an “allurion balloon treatment”. 
Here’s a detailed preview of gastric balloon treatment for better understanding:

• First of all, the patient has to swallow the balloon. 
• Then the doctor will check the balloon location with the help of X-ray and inflate the balloon with saline solution by using a catheter. 
• Again an X-ray is performed to ensure the balloon is filled correctly. 

And it’s done! It takes only 15 minutes to place the balloon in the stomach. The gastric balloon will naturally deflate and get out of the body after 16 weeks. By the time, patients have to modify their lifestyle and diet to maintain the long term results.
