If you are eligible, on the day of placement, you swallow the capsule that contains the balloon, under the supervision of an Allurion certified doctor with a glass of water (without anesthesia or endoscopy). Once the balloon is in place in the stomach, it is inflated with a sterile solution. With quick x-rays, the doctor confirms that the balloon placement is correct.
The balloon occupies space in the stomach, which gives a sense of fullness and satiety and helps you limit your snacking. The balloon is safe and temporary; after ~16 weeks, the balloon deflates and exits the body naturally.
