Allurion Arvostelua 180

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.

Please, please do not have an Allurion balloon. I wish I never had. Awful procedure, basic aftercare and the only thing I lost was my savings.
Allurion do not care if it does not work, they just take your money and don’t give a damn. Just came up with ridiculous excuses as to why I could not have any money back.

My Honest Review of the Allurion Balloon
I had a very disappointing experience with the Allurion Balloon. For me, this solution had zero impact on my weight loss goals. Despite following the guidelines, the balloon was expelled from my stomach within just 2 months, far short of the expected duration. I consider it a complete waste of money and time. I strongly urge others to do thorough research and consult multiple professionals before opting for this procedure.

Posso solo ringraziare tutto il team CPN medical della clinica GapClinic, Rigenera, Manzoni, CoMedical Lentate, Torino, CeDiMe Villaricca, Fernicola Marano.
Mi hanno seguita da inizio dicembre e mi stanno tutt'ora seguendo, motivandomi nei momenti difficili.
Ho inserito il palloncino ALLURION nel mese di dicembre, ad oggi ho perso 15,5 kg. Ho ancora un po di strada da fare, ma grazie al loro supporto sono sicura di raggiungere il mio obiettivo 💪.

Ottima esperienza, sono sempre stata seguita durante tutto il percorso.
Il team si è sempre stato disponibile ad ogni richiesta e i risultati si sono visti.
Grazie mille.

Mi è piaciuta la serietà con cui è stato preso a cuore il mio problema, il fatto di essere sempre stata incoraggiata a procedere con proposte di diete anche diverse da provare pur di raggiungere l' obiettivo.

Il servizio clienti dopo un po ha smesso di rispondere alle mie domande

Fitting etc was fine. Dietitian said pretty much the same thing each time I spoke to them, pushing protien shakes and drink rather than real dietary advice. I am now having bariatric surgery on the nhs and my first 30 minute consultation with the dieting was far more helpful than 4 hours or so via Alurion. Alurion gave no psychological support either. I did loose about 2 stone but have been left with reflux, which I never had before. I have also gained back my initial loss plus an extra stone. I talked to the nhs team doing my surgery and they said statically long term failure is common. Save your money!

Ho posizionato il palloncino gastrico ad aprile 2024 sono partita da 75 kg sono stata malissimo con dolori forti allo stomaco e aveva sempre nausea m sentivo debole per quel poco che mangiavo vomitavo anke di notte mi svegliavo di soprassalto per andare a vomitare ho perso solo sette chili inoltre mi è durato solo 3 mesi invece di 4 e ad agosto in vacanza soffrivo ancora di nausea quando il mare era agitato mai sofferto prima di mal di mare adesso ho ripreso tutti i kili ed ho speso la bellezza di 3800€ solo per soffrire.

Ciao, mi chiamo Alessandro. A novembre sono andato dal dietologo di mia madre (perché lei stava seguendo il percorso Allurion con l’aiuto del dottor Langella). Sono partito da 87,7 kg e da allora ne ho persi 11,5. Sono molto soddisfatto dei miei risultati e consiglio questo percorso a molte persone.

Ciao, mi chiamo Beneventano Nunzia e a settembre ho iniziato il programma Allurion, seguita dal dottor Langella e company. Pesavo 92kg e dall’ora ne ho persi 22. Ho trovato un gruppo di medici sempre disponibile in qualsiasi domanda e qualsiasi cosa io gli riferivo. Mi trovo meglio in me stessa e lo consiglio a tante persone che vogliono dimagrire.😘

Il programma Allurion è di per sé vincente perché il palloncino che si voglia o meno fa il suo lavoro , ciò che è straordinario è il team che lo accompagna, Ciro Claudia e Laura non mi hanno mai abbandonata , quando tutto era facile e soprattutto quando e’ stato difficile . Consigli preziosi, incoraggiamento , monitoraggio , io non posso che consigliarlo al 100 %

Not sure where to start,
I had an initial consultation where I decided on the spot to have the balloon fitted. Feeling really positive about the whole thing.
On the day of the fitting the doctor was over an hour and half late, when I asked what was happening the receptionist didn’t know, I was on the verge of walking out, when he eventually arrived with no explanation and no apology.
The balloon was fitted which isn’t a nice experience but that was not the problem. The aftercare is virtually non existence. I had emails and messages ignored. It was only after weeks of messages and emails that someone contacted me. Then yet again the same thing happened and I am getting emails ignored. Completely fed up with the whole situation now have had to find a dietitian myself. The balloon itself was a complete success and I lost over 3 stone, just be prepared to chase for any aftercare

I went through eight days of excruciating pain and lost 7 kg in the first week. However, after that, I began to regain weight quite quickly. The practitioners I consulted were only average at best, and I received just two or three follow-up calls from the dietitian—that was it. Overall, the experience was expensive and did not meet my expectations. I am really disappointed, especially after paying +7k and waiting for two months. In the end, I ended up weighing even more than before.

I don’t believe the balloon lasted more than two weeks in my stomach. I would recommend that others avoid this procedure. I was told I wouldn’t be able to eat the same portions, but that turned out to be untrue; after the third week, I was eating the same amount as I did before.

I feel sad, upset, and angry—not only because I couldn't see any results, but also due to all the money I spent on this endeavor.

I decided to try Allurion hoping to take advantage of the much-vaunted early satiety effect to finally lose about 10 kilograms of excess weight.

The placement procedure was unbearable, as I struggled to control gag reflexes caused by hypersalivation. However, that wasn’t the main issue. Neither were the three subsequent days of EXCRUCIATING CRAMPS (barely responsive to intramuscular antispasmodics, despite my generally high pain threshold—and I say this with full awareness as a surgeon by profession, understanding from a medical perspective what is normal and what isn’t).

The real issue lies in the complete failure during the following weeks. Once I overcame the initial psychological terror—being told that eating larger quantities would cause significant discomfort—I discovered that Allurion did not induce any sense of early satiety.

Out of pure curiosity, I ate the same portions I had been told I wouldn’t be able to manage, only to find that there was absolutely no issue doing so. Contrary to the claims, Allurion did not affect my ability to consume normal amounts of food.

Now, two months later, I still experience an unpleasant sense of discomfort when lying on my back. I have also developed issues such as excessive burping, acid reflux, and constipation—conditions I had never experienced before in my life.

Adding to this is the painful frustration of having spent money on a device that, on balance, has only brought me physical and mental discomfort.

I do not suffer from obesity; my issue was mild overweight. My advice? Spend that money on a gym membership instead—don’t waste it on this useless device.

P.S. I have never written a review for anything in my life. The anger I feel over being misled by this device has compelled me to write one, hoping to dissuade someone who, like me, struggles with losing weight. Instead, consider undergoing surgery—it’s a far better option.

Mi sono presentata all'appuntamento molto scettica, ho sempre avuto problemi di peso e difficoltà a gestire le diete. Ho espresso i miei dubbi e le mie preoccupazioni in merito al fatto che soffro di un'importante fame emotiva e di insulinoresistenza. Mi sono convinta a posizionare il palloncino perché mi è stato presentato come un aiuto concreto, come un ingombro capace di creare sazietà precoce, riducendo non solo la quantità di cibo necessaria al senso di sazietà, ma anche eventualmente la voglia di mangiare fuori pasto.
Cosa devo dire? Ho perso 4 kili esclusivamente nei primi dieci giorni di dieta liquida, e poi mi sono fermata. Non sentivo l'ingombro, non avvertivo la presenza del palloncino, nessuna pressione dopo aver mangiato o bevuto, non c'è stata assolutamente riduzione dell'appetito, anzi! Quando dopo 1 mese ho espresso queste preoccupazioni sono stata liquidata alla svelta. Altro che supporto in toto durante il percorso! Sono stata lasciata da sola, con la mi fame! Ho combattuto per oltre 3 mesi con i crampi della fame, facendomi violenza per non mangiare! A nulla è servito masticare piano, contare fino a 30, non distrarsi e tutte le cavolate della mindfulness...
Sicuramente presenterò ricorso.

Terry was lovely, took time to explain everything and answered all my questions that I asked outside of the info he gave me. Lovely guy and really helpful
