HYDERABAD: , Gleneagles Global Hospital announced that Dr Y Rami Reddy from the Lakadikapul unit is the first medical gastroenterologist in Telangana state to collaborate with the Allurion Balloon System programme for the non-invasive treatment of obesity. The Allurion Balloon treatment is a holistic weight loss procedure designed to support long term weight loss through a holistic approach that involves the gastric balloon device.
The Allurion programme involves placing a capsule-shaped, readily swallowable balloon that is later inflated in the stomach. The technique requires no anaesthesia, endoscopy, or surgery to treat patients with obesity. The treatment is a painless, day care procedure and a game changer treatment in the era of non-invasive procedures.
The Allurion Gastric Balloon gives patients the power to cut cravings and lose weight. The non-invasive procedure is safe, non-permanent solution recommended by doctors across. The treatment can help patients kickstart an average loss of 10-15% of body weight in just 16 weeks. After 16 weeks the pill balloon degrades and leaves the body naturally. By the time the balloon passes, the patients would have developed new food preferences, adjusted to smaller portion sizes, developed a new understanding of the body and the results lasting for lifetime.
