The Allurion (formerly Ellipse) Gastric Balloon helps you achieve sustainable weight loss by reducing hunger and leaving you feeling fuller after eating.
The exceptional consultants and staff at HSSH work in partnership with the Allurion team to deliver fast yet sustainable weight loss without surgery.
*In rare cases, the Allurion Balloon may be vomited at end of residence or require endoscopic or surgical intervention for removal.
Allurion is the first gastric balloon that requires no endoscopy* or anaesthesia for placement or removal. You can walk in and walk out, and the balloon will pass naturally after 16 weeks. The Allurion weight loss programme will support you for 6 months to give you the best opportunity of reaching your weight loss goals and keeping your weight down.
The Allurion (formerly Ellipse) balloon and weight loss programme is a fully supported weight loss programme that helps you sustain healthy weight loss with regular contact with your consultant and Bariatric Nutritionist. You’ll also be given connected body composition scales, a lifestyle wrist tracker and access to the Allurion app to help you stay on track with your weight loss goals.
Your Bariatric Nutritionist is highly experienced in weight loss nutrition. She provides face-to-face diet and lifestyle support, and the advice offered at the consultations is personalised to every patient.
Our consultants are all experts in their field, who are dedicated to making your experience as exceptional as can be. Your quick and straightforward procedure will take place in our immaculate and comfortable facilities where you’ll walk in and walk out after only an hour or so.

We offer regular clinics and a date for the procedure will be discussed within the appointment. There are no waiting lists for this procedure. You should be able to have it done within a couple of weeks of enquiring if it’s determined you’re eligible and you’d like to go ahead.
When you come in to have the balloon placed, you’ll likely be in the hospital for around 1 hour from start to finish. Your procedure normally takes around 15 minutes to complete.
Because the procedure is so straightforward and requires no anaesthetic, your consultant can perform the procedure in our outpatient department.
No, the balloon will deflate and pass naturally after around 16 weeks.
After approximately 16 weeks of the Allurion Programme, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that patients lose on average 10–15% of their total body weight. If you still want to lose more weight, a second Balloon can be placed after completing the first programme.
Your consultant will talk to you about your specific goals and situation during your consultation.
We generally advise that you have 1-2 days off work after the procedure.
