Patient Reviews

So far I have lost 14kg thanks to Allurion Balloon. It was not an easy decision, but when I think about it, it was the best decision I could have made. My life has completely changed. Now I even started to explore healthy food and my portions stayed smaller even after the balloon passed.

Hazel D.

If you are struggling to lose weight like me, I recommend you start today. Don't wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Because now is the time to do something before it's too late.

Derya Ç.

Elipse gave me a completely different life. Now I am back to myself, back to being myself. I feel healthier. I used to be out of breath when I was walking to school, now I feel so relaxed...
