I’m my case the Gastric balloon didn’t work. The company is “Weight Doctors”It was So much money for nothing. I had a very hard diarrhoea for a month and when I ask many times to my coach if that came for the balloon, she told me “no, it’s absolutely no for the balloon, you need to talk with your GP”. I’ m was to my GP making many tests for a week and in the end, all the results was negative. Finally after 4 weeks, a doctor from Weight Doctors call me, and he confirmed the diarrhoea came for sure because of the balloon!!!!’ Crazy! Anyway I didn’t loose weight….

I have lost count of the times I have tried to unsubscribe from Allurion's constant and repetitive emails. I first unsubscribed months ago and I continue to receive emails. Allurion is not working with the GDPR EU directives and it is very frustrating for a company to keep and continue to use your personal data against your consent.

Giving it 1 star but that’s generous. Absolute waste of £4k which had taken me ages to save for. I completely agree with the comments about sickness and cramps in the first few days. I couldn’t even keep water down. Absolutely no weight loss whatsoever and the people at the after care team didn’t give a damn about how ill I was or that it wasn’t working. They’d had their money and that’s all that mattered to them.

I would advise anyone considering this balloon to find another option. The trauma of the first 2 days will never leave me. And the nurse didn't give a fig when I told her I couldn't keep anything down so was severely dehydrated. Responding to reply: First few days? It was 6 months of hell, the fist few days were just when I thought I was going to die, and the trauma of swallowing that thing in the first place. Do not get this, save your money and get a sleeve, also, nice of you to reply 2 years later 👌🏼

Complete waste of money! There’s no real support structure with this company. You go have the balloon inserted on the day which isn’t as easy as expected swallowing a ballon I gagged it up 3 times before managing to swallow if. That experience along left me with gag trauma I can’t even watch their adverts without feeling sick. They give you scales and watch (which was useless to me as I have an iwatch) and a nutritionist who was hopeless. Provided me with rubbish information total waste of time. The only time I felt uncomfortable, gassy burps all the time. The first week was awful with constant throwing up and any weight I lost was within that first 2 weeks by being sick. After the ballon settles about a month later I felt like I wouldn’t get full and could eat normal. Lost a few more pounds and about a stone in total but a month before the ballon was due to expire I had no restriction to eating. There was no support group or even check in from the company. It’s like that take your money and run! After the balloon expired I easily put the weight back on. After when I spoke to my rep they said that they were looking into doing it alongside Semaglutide but it was too late for me and I just felt let down and wasted 4k on this product.

I have lost any chance of loosing weight as I couldn’t stop my cravings and I have decided to go for most safest balloons Allurion after so much of research, however my experience it’s not the great- the whole process is so easy painless and what happens the next day it was hell life which I faced next 4 days- I went early morning next day after ballon placement to the emergency as I couldn’t sleep while night, I had acid reflux and worse is your stomach pain so bad that I can’t even possibly pass by words, anyways my doctor convinced to keep as removal of balloon will be my surgery which they have to burst it by needle and since it’s new it can burst so hard that can cause bleeding in your stomach or worse consequences which I was scared and decided to keep as I was afraid. After 10 days with so much of medication daily taken my pain slowly subsided, however acidity kept continuing- so within first 3 weeks I lost 4 kg cuz of my sickness - now what is the funniest part after one month I started getting even more hungry than I used to be before, you start feeling constant hunger which you can’t control it’s like this balloon opens up your stomach and yes I have gained even more weight now and it’s 2 month of terrible experience….now I’m just waiting this balloon to be defeated by itself as they told me it takes 4 month ….. anyways I will never ever to suggest

Besides the 3kg lost before the placement of the balloon, simply due to liquid diet, I was very soon able to eat almost exactly the same amount of food as before hand. After the balloon placement, I had nausea and heavy stomach pain for the first 2.5 months, and I followed the guideline of this Clinic Doctors and Nutritionist. I searched for help and support in the Clinic and the answer was to drink Coke to alleviate the pain and clean the balloon. I never saw the Nurse that should have been provided with this 6 month Program. The program also offers a 12 months Nutritionist support (but just 6 appointments, and 2 were absolved before the placement of the balloon). Based on my experience, PLEASE, I'd strongly recommend avoiding the Brisbane General & Obesity Surgery Clinic. I have read very good reviews on the Allurion Program, and that is why I had hopes. But here, I just lost money and hope. And my health was affected.

I thought I would die in the first 24 hours! The pain was excruciating. Didn’t lose any weight. Total waist of money and putting my health at risk with no results. They work with good doctors and speculate their greed so you trust the device. It’s a scam!
