You may not believe it at first, but you can actually lose weight by swallowing a pill! Once this pill reached your stomach, it will inflate like a balloon and occupies more room, which helps you feel full and encourages you to lose more weight. A gastric pill balloon, sometimes referred to as swallowable Allurion or Elipse gastric balloon, is a new technology that helps people lose weight without surgery or drug therapies. It also doesn’t involve the use of anesthesia or endoscopy. You can lose a moderate amount of weight with this method as it delays stomach emptying and make you feel full throughout the day.

Your doctor will tell you to swallow the pill with a glass of water. In addition, they will monitor the passage of the pill by X-ray imaging to determine the exact location of the pill inside the stomach.
The pill will turn into a balloon after your doctor inflates it with 550 mL of fluid, and an X-ray image will be taken again to check the volume and location of the balloon.
After 16 weeks, the balloon starts to deflate in your stomach. Your body will spontaneously expel the balloon into the toilet without external intervention.
