ho fatto il palloncino allurion ed è stato un incubo dolori fortissimi nausea continua fino a doverlo togliere in ospedale stavo letteralmente morendo e nessuno mi ha aiutato poi ho iniziato con mounjaro e la mia vita è cambiata sto bene sto dimagrendo e mi sento rinato

Pessima esperienza sono scesa di kg ma avevo il valore del potassio a zero (rischio morte) mi hanno ricoverata in ospedale su mia iniziativa in quanto il medico che me l aveva messo continuava a dirmi di aspettare perché era tutto normale. Se non avessi fatto di testa mia oggi non sarei qui a raccontarlo. Da non prendere nemmeno in considerazione.

2 years on l recall this as a horrible experience. Vomiting blood and hospitalised. Weight loss injections are by far the best route to pursue.

After receiving an Allurion gastric balloon at a private clinic in Vancouver on June 5, 2025, I began experiencing severe and persistent vomiting the very same day. The symptoms worsened over time, ultimately leading to profound dehydration and dangerously low potassium levels (hypokalemia). Despite ongoing illness, I attempted to manage at home with medications prescribed by the clinic. However, my condition continued to deteriorate. On July 4, I was admitted to the hospital with a critically low potassium level of 2.5 mmol/L. I received intravenous fluids and potassium and was discharged later that day with a slight improvement to 2.9 mmol/L. Unfortunately, my symptoms persisted. On July 9, I was informed that my potassium had dropped further to a life-threatening level of 2.2 mmol/L. I was advised to go to the emergency department immediately, where I was re-admitted and remained hospitalized for a full week. I received continuous IV fluids, electrolyte replacement, and monitoring to prevent serious complications. Throughout that month, I remained in contact with the clinic that had placed the balloon. They continued to prescribe various medications in an effort to control the nausea and vomiting, but none were effective. I later learned the balloon had caused a gastric outlet obstruction, physically blocking food from entering my stomach. As a result, food and liquids remained trapped in my esophagus and were repeatedly vomited up. I lost 16.5 pounds in less than a month and that was due to starvation and dehydration. Once I was released from the hospital and had fluids back in my body, I was back up by 10 pounds. On July 13, 2025, the Allurion balloon was removed by a general surgeon using a gastroscopy (a scope passed through the mouth into the stomach). Although imaging like x-rays and CT scans had failed to clearly show the obstruction, the blockage was confirmed during the procedure. Almost immediately after removal, I experienced relief—I was finally able to eat and drink without vomiting, and my hydration and potassium levels began to stabilize. I also want to highlight that the placement experience at the clinic was unprofessional and concerning. The procedure was carried out by what appeared to be a husband-and-wife team. During the placement, the husband repeatedly raised his voice at the wife while I sat in a chair. They ran out of water mid-procedure and substituted carbonated water. After placement, the wife briefly connected my scale to the app and sent me out with no explanation of the program, no aftercare instructions, and no guidance on what to expect. The “pop-up” clinic setting felt chaotic, disorganized, and far below the standard of professional medical care. Since the removal, I’ve felt significantly better. I’ve been able to eat and drink normally, and my health has been steadily improving. I’ve also contacted the hospital where I was treated to obtain all related medical records, including any available documentation and images of the gastric obstruction, to support my case and ensure this adverse event is properly reported.

This was a horrible experience that ended me up in emergency and needed immediate removal. I was at the 1 month mark and from then on all it seemed i did was throw up. Allurion through drugs and suggested back to liquid diet but nothing helped. The last week nothing!! was staying down or going through. I was so weak. At the hospital they pumped my stomach for a really long time. Images showed total blockage of the stomach passing on food and fluids. I was put priority surgery and the balloon was extracted. My stomach had been stretched using the balloon and my throat was damaged from all the throwing up. Allurion offered to give me a free one.. obviously I declined. I am Not alone . Am in conversation with people right now who are in emergency to have their balloon removed. There are a lot of us!!

Absolute geld dieven! Ga niet met ze in zee. Gestart met een maagballon á €4500! dat geen effect heeft gehad. Hier hebben ze geen oren naar, zolang je maar betaald! Toen een mounjaro ‘traject’ gestart. Je krijgt eerst een dosis om het te proberen. Als het positieve effecten heeft en het werkt goed mag je hiermee doorgaan. Máár eerst betalen!! Dus naast het medicijn mag je nog eens €750 aan trajectkosten betalen?! Het slaat werkelijk nergens op. Zeer onprettig en onprofessioneel te woord gestaan. Ze hebben lak aan jou als persoon maar denken alleen aan hun eigen portemonnee. Heel erg jammer voor zo’n kliniek waarvan je denkt dat het vakkundige en eerlijke mensen zijn. Helaas is niets minder waar! Ik raad het iedereen af bij de Allurion kliniek aan te melden!

Sono andata questa mattina ad informarmi. 02.07.25. Il minimo del trattamento per avere il palloncino gastrico allurion con assistenza obbligatoria è di ben 7.000€ in su! Sappiatelo! (Intorno ai 3.500€ un piffero!) E minimo 216€ al mese con la rateizzazione meno no! Sappiatelo prima che andate a perdere tempo per fare una consulenza come ho fatto io!!

Mijn ervaring met de Allurion maagballon is ronduit slecht geweest. Er werd mij verteld dat de ballon vanzelf zou verteren en via de ontlasting het lichaam zou verlaten. Bij mij is de ballon er echter uitgekomen door extreem heftig overgeven. Ik dacht echt dat ik doodging – het was traumatisch. Ik heb meerdere keren contact gehad met dr. Edo van Allurion. Zijn houding was allesbehalve professioneel. Hij zei dat de ballon opgestuurd zou worden naar Amerika voor onderzoek, maar vier jaar later heb ik – ondanks herhaaldelijk vragen – nog steeds niets vernomen. Het lijkt alsof ze het gewoon negeren. Ondertussen zijn alle verloren kilo’s weer terug, dus het heeft op de lange termijn ook niks geholpen. Het voelt als geldklopperij, zonder echte zorg voor de gezondheid van mensen. Ik heb alle WhatsApp-gesprekken als bewijs bewaard. Mijn advies: Doe het niet! Het is gevaarlijk voor je lichaam. Je kunt letterlijk stikken, zoals ik bijna deed. Bescherm jezelf – kies voor iets veiligers en duurzaams.
