Allurion Balloon Placement in Sheffield
As you step into the Sheffield facility at the Canon Medical Arena for your Allurion balloon placement, you’ll be greeted with care and led through the process seamlessly. Prior to your Allurion balloon placement you will undergo a detailed consultation with your Doctor, who will take the time to ensure you understand the Allurion balloon procedure and feel completely at ease before moving forward.
The procedure, expertly performed, is quick and efficient, taking roughly 20 minutes. During this time, you’ll swallow the Allurion balloon via a capsule linked to a thin catheter, which your Doctor uses to fill the balloon with saline once it reaches the correct position in your stomach.
This procedure requires no anaesthesia and has a very brief recovery time, allowing you to depart from the Sheffield clinic shortly after completion. On your weight loss journey, you will receive unwavering support from our specialised team, committed to guiding you towards achieving your weight loss goals with every step.

Frequently Asked Questions
After approximately 16 weeks inside your stomach, a time-activated release valve will open, allowing the balloon to empty and pass naturally through the gastrointestinal tract without the need for a removal procedure.*
*In rare cases, the Allurion Balloon may require endoscopic or surgical intervention for removal.
The Allurion Balloon is the world’s first and only gastric balloon without the need for surgery, endoscopy* or anaesthesia for balloon placement and removal. The balloon is swallowed as a capsule during a 15-minute placement which means less downtime or time off work for our patients.
Designed to pass naturally at approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon maximizes weight loss while minimizing time spent in the body, making it a more effective option than longer 6-month endoscopic balloons, where 80% of weight loss is achieved within the first 3 months.1
The Allurion Balloon is a safer option, with fewer side effects. It has a significantly lower intolerance rate compared to 12-month endoscopic balloons (1-3% vs 14.4%)2,3, with an overall serious adverse event rate that is 10 times lower than other liquid-filled balloons.4-10
Made from vegan polyurethane, a material that’s much thinner and more flexible than the silicone material in endoscopic balloons, the Allurion Balloon flexes and adapts as your stomach moves, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

After the Allurion Balloon passes, the Allurion Programme and the related support from your healthcare team continues for one month. At the end of the Allurion Programme, you should continue your healthy lifestyle habits. One clinical study showed that 96% of the average weight loss with the Allurion Balloon was sustained at 1-year follow-up
Yes! The Allurion Program, a combination of our unique swallowable gastric balloon and a supported lifestyle change program, leads to nearly 2.5 times the weight loss than a lifestyle change program alone, according to an independent study.1
In another study, three-quarters of participants who attempted to lose weight over a year through calorie-controlled or restricted diets (72% of participants), exercise programs or courses (22%), and pharmaceutical treatments (12%), did not achieve a clinically meaningful weight loss defined as at least 5% of their body weight.(superscript 2) The evidence shows that these isolated methods alone are not enough.
The 6-month Allurion Program combines medical support and a weight-loss device (Allurion Gastric Balloon), digital tools (Allurion Connected Scale, Allurion Health Tracker and Allurion App) and nutritional coaching to kick-start your weight loss and help you form lifelong healthy habits to maintain the weight loss.

The placement takes place during a less than 15-minute outpatient visit. Allurion is the first gastric balloon that requires no endoscopy* or anaesthesia for placement or removal. Simply swallow a capsule containing the deflated Balloon with a catheter: once the Balloon is confirmed to be in your stomach via x-ray, the Balloon is filled with water through a catheter. A second x-ray takes place to ensure the Balloon is filled correctly.
After the short placement, you can continue with your life; however, you may have some symptoms for a few days such as nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps. We will advise you on care and nutrition after placement and the best plan to resume your activities, such as gym and exercise.
We understand that swallowing the balloon or the gag reflex can be a source of anxiety for certain people.
However, 99.99% of patients are able to swallow the capsule. If you have difficulty swallowing the capsule on your own, your doctor can assist you and gently guide the capsule down by stiffening the catheter. This helps avoid the gag reflex and support quick placement of the capsule inside the stomach.
No. The Allurion Programme is a discrete experience. Unless you tell people, no one will know you have had the Balloon placed.
