Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon Worldwide

In the Adjustable Gastric Band, popularly known as the stomach clamp method, a band made of silicone is placed around the stomach, approximately 20 mm below the junction of the esophagus and the stomach. The inner wall of the band is like an elongated balloon or bicycle tire. This balloon is connected to a port placed under the skin via a thin tube. The Adjustable Gastric Band is left deflated during the surgery but is gradually inflated approximately one month later with serum injections from the subcutaneous port. In this way, the size of the gastric passage can change with a simple intervention after the surgery.
