Why Choose a Swallowable Weight Loss Balloon?

With rising obesity rates worldwide, patients seek effective yet non-invasive interventions. The swallowable weight loss balloon (also known as the Elipse or Allurion balloon) offers:

  • Non-surgical placement: swallow a capsule—no endoscopy, anesthesia, or sedation needed 

  • Short procedure (~15–30 min) and same-day outpatient discharge 

  • Automatic natural removal after ~4 months via deflation and natural excretion

This makes it ideal for individuals with BMI 27–40 kg/m² who haven’t succeeded with diet and exercise

How It Works: Mechanism & Placement

2.1 Swallow & Inflate
  • You ingest a small capsule attached to a catheter.

  • Once confirmed in your stomach via X-ray, the balloon is filled with ~550 ml fluid 

2.2 Full In Your Stomach
  • The balloon occupies stomach space → reduces hunger and calorie intake.

  • It may delay gastric emptying and affect hunger hormones like ghrelin 

2.3 Self-Removal
  • After ~16 weeks, a release valve deflates the balloon, which then exits the body naturally within weeks

Benefits of the Swallowable Weight Loss Balloon

  • Non-invasive: no surgical or endoscopic procedures required

  • Short recovery: minimal downtime, most return to daily routine quickly 

  • Proven weight loss: average reduction 10–15% of total body weight in 4 months 

  • Sustainability: up to 95–96% of weight loss maintained at 12 months 

  • Health improvements: reduces risks associated with diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea

Candidate Profiles: Who Qualifies?

Suitable candidates:
  • Adults with BMI 27–40 kg/m² who didn’t succeed with lifestyle changes 

  • Overweight individuals with comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or fatty liver 

  • Patients seeking obesity treatment without surgery 

Not suitable if:
  • You’ve had prior bariatric or GI surgeries 

  • Suffering from active gastric ulcers, severe motility issues, or pregnant/lactating.

Procedure Details

Preparation
  • Medical evaluation: history, exams, possible imaging.

  • Pre-procedure fasting (12 hours prior) .

Day of Procedure
  • Swallow capsule (may be assisted), X-ray confirms position.

  • Fill with ~550 ml liquid, then remove catheter 

Aftercare
  • Rest on day one; manage mild nausea or discomfort

  • Follow liquid/soft-food diet first week, then transition to solids under dietitian guidance

  • Maintain hydration and prescribed eating plan.

Deflation & Exit
  • Around week 16, the balloon deflates via degradable valve and is passed naturally 

Risks & Considerations

Though generally safe, potential issues include:

  • Nausea/pain in early stages (typically resolve quickly) 

  • Ulceration or heartburn due to pressure – rare 

  • Balloon migration/obstruction (~1–1.5%) may require emergency removal 

  • Hyperinflation, balloon deflation risks

  • Pancreatitis very rare (Orbera balloon, but noted) 

Our MedEase team monitors you throughout and gives clear guidelines on when to seek help.
