Obesity is not just about looks—it’s a serious health condition that can increase your risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and more. While traditional options like bariatric surgery have been used for years, newer non-surgical alternatives such as the Allurion Balloon are changing the way people in Delhi are losing weight safely and effectively.
In this article, we compare the Allurion Balloon with bariatric surgery to help you decide which treatment is better for your weight loss journey.
What is the Allurion Balloon?
The Allurion Balloon (formerly known as Elipse Balloon) is a swallowable, non-surgical gastric balloon designed for safe and effective short-term weight loss.
- No endoscopy
- No anesthesia
- No surgery
You simply swallow a capsule attached to a thin catheter. Once in your stomach, the balloon is filled with liquid and helps you feel full—reducing how much you eat. After approximately 16 weeks, it naturally deflates and passes through your digestive system.
What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery refers to surgical procedures like gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric banding that physically alter the stomach and/or digestive system to reduce food intake and nutrient absorption.
These procedures are effective for severe obesity, but they come with surgical risks, hospital stays, and long recovery periods.
