Allurion gastric balloon now available at Imperial College Healthcare Private Care
Imperial College Healthcare Private Care is now offering the Allurion gastric balloon, a non-surgical weight loss device. This fast, yet sustainable weight loss solution is performed by our internationally renowned team at the Lindo Wing.
The innovative, swallowable gastric balloon is designed for adults over the age of 18, with a BMI of 27 or higher, who are looking to lose a moderate amount of weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Commenting on the launch of this service, Professor Sanjay Purkayastha, consultant general surgeon with a specialist interest in bariatric and upper GI surgery, said: "For those patients over the age of 18 with a BMI of 27 or higher who are looking to lose a moderate amount of weight, the Allurion gastric balloon offers a simple non-surgical solution. This quick procedure is performed at the Lindo Wing by our trained team without the need for surgery or an anaesthetic. The gastric balloon promotes a feeling of fullness and reduces food intake and typically remains in the stomach for 16 weeks before it passes through naturally.
We would encourage patients looking for a non-surgical weight loss journey to book a consultation with us to find out more."
