When it comes to weight loss, there are thousands of promises being sold in the market. Some are true and legitimate ways to gain a healthier lifestyle. Others however, are quick fixes that produce a seemingly good initial loss, but leave you feeling disappointed and back to square one, and several hundreds or thousands of dollars out of pocket. Not only is it a financial burden, it’s a strain on the body to fluctuate your weight so rapidly and regularly. So, an important and prominent question we are asked is how long do the results last after having the Allurion Balloon procedure… 

Results to expect after having an Allurion Balloon

The results for the Allurion Balloon average a 10-15% drop in total body weight, with a 95% likelihood of keeping the weight off within the first year, if your lifestyle and diet changes are also sustained.

The Allurion Balloon can be a life-changing weight loss solution, if it’s done as one part of a holistic program. The Balloon is a highly effective method of ensuring you lose body weight at a greater rate, statistically, than if you were to only change lifestyle habits. However the Balloon itself won’t help you sustain long-term, even lifelong, results. 

The reason for the high long term success is in being supported through nutrition and health coaching to gain a genuine positive change in your lifestyle habits that have caused weight gain in the past.

How to sustain weight loss

The balloon can reduce hunger and makes smaller portion sizes more satisfying. However, if you don’t change the types of food you eat, like opting for high nutrient meals over a low-nutrient and high saturated fat diet, you may still experience initial loss of body fat, but are at higher risk of regaining the weight. 

By minimising portion sizes and increasing knowledge on how to fuel your body for long term health with more nutrient dense food choices, you will have a much higher likelihood of experiencing long term weight loss results. 

Additionally, moving your body is extremely important to the process. It’s about the balloon supporting and accelerating one area of an overall healthier lifestyle, in a tangible and noticeable way to create results that aren’t temporary. 

For our Allurion patients, we see an average of 10 – 15% total body weight loss (TBWL). We can also discuss and plan for subsequent balloons if your specific requirements are to lose more weight than one balloon will, on average, provide.
