Si possono dare 5 stelle NEGATIVE?
Dopo 10 giorni ho iniziato a stare malissimo, vomito e nausea che mi impedivano il normale svolgimento della vita e del lavoro.
Cessato il vomito la fame c'era eccome.
E' servito solo a spendere BEN EURO 2.500,00 e mi hanno abbonato l'ultimo pagamento

El balón no sirve absolutamente para…
El balón no sirve absolutamente para nada. Os lo digo de verdad. No te entrampes en esto. Antes de empezar tienes que estar una semana antes ya con dieta super super estricta, casi sin comer. Y 3 días antes de ponértelo, solo puedes beber 3 batidos al día que también valen una pasta y que no tienen nada de saciantes. Ya antes de empezar has perdido 2 kilos por no comer.
Luego te ponen el balón, te lo inflan a más no poder, en mi caso me sentó fatal, tuve que pedir hasta una baja médica por 1 mes, los vómitos eran horrorosos, de madrugada no paraba, no podía dormir y me sentía enferma como nunca en la vida. Así claro que pierdes peso…vomita lo poco que comes durante 1 mes entero, a ver si no pierdes peso !! Con todo eso apenas perdí 7 kilos, que en cuanto tu estómago se acostumbra a tener esa bola y que además poco a poco se va desinflando dentro ya tienes hambre. Así que el balón se siente 0. No hace nada.
En resumen, si te pones a hacer deporte y dieta que es básicamente lo que te van a decir que tienes que hacer, perderás lo mismo pero sin dejarte la salud.
Un saludo!

Thank you for sharing your comments and for taking the time to describe your experience.
We would appreciate the opportunity to review your case in more detail, as you mention that the balloon was inflated “to the maximum,” while the Allurion Balloon has a single, standardized capacity of 550 ml, as defined by its design.
If you wish, you can contact us at [email protected] with additional information so we can review your case and ensure that it corresponds to the Allurion Balloon.

Awful weight loss treatment
Awful weight loss treatment, have felt horrendous for weeks since having it fitted. You eat healthy you get full of wind, you eat bad you get full of wind, you can’t win unless you go for liquid only option. The scales didn’t link to the app, the Fitbit didn’t link to the app and in the end I just felt like some guinea pig trying to help a company work out their software issues. I wanted to loose weight not keep sending screenshots to try and solve issues.
Honestly 4K is a lot to pay to feel terrible. I think there are better more comfortable options out there.
I have lost weight but I’d rather of been how I was before, fatter and healthier. There are alot of foods you can’t eat but you end up figuring this out yourself. Something healthy like spinach is an absolute no no, may as well eat chocolate.
Everyone around me has commented on how my physical health has deteriorated since I had this balloon. Be prepared to pay out for vitamins, my list is endless just trying to get some normality back into my life. I’m only grateful that this is not a permanent fixture because I would definitely loose the will to live!!!!

I had my balloon fitted may 26th and…
I had my balloon fitted may 26th and after 4 weeks of constant vomiting I was advised to go to A&E and get some fluids into me . They wouldn’t give me fluids without a barium xray which I had done and then was hospitalised for 7 days nil by mouth just on fluids via a drip . On the 26th of June the balloon was removed via gastroscopy. My Trachea and asophagus where raw through been sick . I was then given extra reflux meds to deal with the after effects . 8 weeks after that I was given another gastroscopy to check how things were going and they took 2 biopsy’s and I am now waiting to have another to check again . I was told to get the balloon back and go to Allurion send them X-rays and medical notes and that I had the retrieved balloon in my possession and I might get some refund . That didn’t happen either they don’t want to know they just take your money and to hell with the consequences. Please please don’t do it , don’t was your money it’s awful . I was vomiting food up that had gotten stuck and couldn’t get passed the balloon absolutely gross .

Not even a stone lost big waste of money
Only 13lbs lost , I couldn’t afford it and wish I had never wasted my money I thought did not decrease my appetite very much basically I could’ve done better being on a keto diet or at a slimming club. Please do not waste your money. It is not worth it.

No no no no don’t do it
Easy procedure really BUT a big rip off of £4 grand+
Excruciating pain after for over a week. 9lb lost the first week obviously as I was attached to the toilet or vomiting all the time the nausea and stomach cramps were worse than labour pains. Had to have 2 weeks off work as I couldn’t move and was in so much pain. Then comes the constipation when you start to eat properly. I was told every patient is different but read the reviews before you do it and don’t waste your money. My stomach is huge with the swelling still and I’m eating very healthy and I can’t wait for the thing to go away naturally as to get it out costs about £3grand. I wanted this done for my self esteem and now I am worse as I look pregnant. Please please please think very carefully before doing this I wish I had

Spreco di denaro
Ho affrontato la procedura a Milano nella speranza di perdere almeno il 9% del mio peso.
Dopo le prime settimane, in cui ho perso circa 5kg a causa di forti dolori e nausea derivanti dal palloncino stesso, non ho più perso un etto.
Mi é stata data una dieta da 800kcal, che non avevo modo di poter seguire, visto il costante senso di fame.
La presenza del palloncino non ha assolutamente attutito quest'ultima e nonostante le mie richieste di indagare se il palloncino fosse ancora in loco, mi é stato solo consigliato di avere più pazienza.
Mi sento mortificata per aver gettato oltre 4000€ dalla finestra.
Pessimo servizio, pessime informazioni ricevute, pessimo tutto.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH…
UPDATE- I AM NOW ALMOST SIX WEEKS IN WITH TEN TO GO AND COUNTING THE DAYS. I AM VOMITTING VIOLENTLY AND DAIILY STILL AND SLEEPING OFF THE NAUSEA, LUCKILY I AM SELF EMPLOYED AND IN A POSTION TO DO THIS OTHERWISE I WOULD PROBABLY BE UNEMPLOYED.
PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS. The process is brutal and you are extremely unwell for days after it. I am on day 5 and wished I hadn't done it. I have no idea if I have lost any weight but the whole process has been horrendous. Getting the actual balloon in is the worst thing I have ever experienced, I think my body went into shock afterwards as I slept for two whole days and nights. any time I have been awake I am projectile vomiting. Hoping this eases as we approach the one week mark. Even if it does, I would NEVER recommend this to anyone.
