While we might still be rugging up against the winter chill, and comfort habits are taking a front seat to our day, we will blink and find ourselves at the time of year: Summer, and New year. Famously, a time for people to reflect and review what is to come, making resolutions to be better versions of themselves. But, what if you could preempt that feeling, and start the groundwork now? A combination of a want for renewal, and a desire to finally feel energised enough to actually enjoy summer fun, taking stock of our health becomes top of mind. With that, in preparation for heading into a bright, healthy lifestyle in 2024, here’s why you should consider the Allurion Gastric Balloon today, to make next year’s dream a reality. 

• Effective Weight Loss Solution

Although, if you stick to the program, you will notice changes in your physique shortly after undergoing the procedure, it’s crucial to understand that Allurion is far from a superficial, fleeting solution for weight loss. Instead, it stands as a profound and effective approach to achieving sustainable weight loss outcomes. Meaning, you can expect a lifelong result that doesn’t just change the number on a scale, or on a clothing tag, but change your entire approach to life. It is a procedure that sits within an entire mindset and behaviour change to focus on the health benefits of weight loss, not just the weight loss itself. 

• Convenience and Simplicity

While all medical procedures come with a risk of side-effects [link to blog], Allurion Gastric Balloon is non-invasive and has little if any down time. This means you don’t have to take any significant time out of your busy schedule for placement day (the procedure takes around 15 minutes). Once the balloon is in place, you’ll get advice on what to eat and how to live in a healthier way to help you lose weight. Doctors will check on your progress regularly and offer the support you need. The Allurion Balloon procedure and program is designed to offer you a support system that sets you up for success, with a convenient, simple and low impact way to give yourself the best start to overhauling, and gaining back control of, your life. 

• Personalised, ongoing support

Our doctors, along with our expert nutritionists, will stay in touch with you while the Allurion Balloon is placed, using the Allurion App to monitor your progress and how you’re tracking. They can help you pick good foods, understand nutrition labels, figure out the right amounts to eat, and plan your meals. They’ll also give you individualised tips to change any habits that aren’t supporting your goals. The more you work with them, the greater the results. They’re here to guide you in making changes that can stick around even after the balloon has been removed, and that’s the most important part.

• Lifestyle-change for long term results

The significance of Allurion lies not just in the procedure itself but in the overarching mindset shift and behavioural transformation it fosters. With our Allurion Balloon support program post-procedure, it is aimed at helping you embrace a new perspective on life that revolves around achieving a healthier lifestyle, generally. This isn’t a program solely for the sake of weight loss; its goal includes enhanced well-being, both mentally and physically, to give you a bright outlook for the coming year.  

• You’ve tried everything, and nothing has worked

This is a big reason we see patients enquiring, and then coming through the door for their consultations and placement days. Quite simply, they’ve tried every fad diet, too-good-to-be-true exercise regime, ‘healthy’ marketed food options and copious advice from well-meaning loved ones, only to end up back where they started, or feeling worse than where they started. The Allurion Balloon is a clinically proven long-term weight loss solution that involves a short, non-invasive procedure, and a dedicated willingness to accept the support of highly qualified weight loss professionals to make tangible, lifelong changes to mindsets, lifestyle and approach to general health. No fads in sight.
