Allurion Gastric Balloon Costs
An Allurion Gastric Balloon procedure and Post-Procedure-Care costs $7,000. This covers your balloon, its placement with Dr Balalis, all placement materials, your Allurion Scale, App and your ongoing post-procedural support and care for 6 months in person.
Post-Procedure-Care is provided within the one space by the one specialised team, including dietitian, nurse and Dr Balalis himself. This means we’re with you all the way—no referrals, off-site visits or unfamiliar faces.
Post-Procedure-Care includes a 12 month online Changing Habits Course created by Dr Gina Cleo for you to work on identifying the habits that are holding you back and guide you through simple strategies to improve your daily habits, long term.
An after-hours phone service also sees Dr Balalis and our team made aware of all out-of-hours calls.
Dietetic Care
Diet and nutrition are vital aspects of your weight loss journey post-procedure. That’s why Dr Balalis works collaboratively with the Nutrition For Weight Loss Surgery team.
You’ll receive three individual appointments with your NFWLS dietitian in our rooms or via tele-health following your placement. These appointments are tailored to your needs and are specifically timed to the key transitions and stages of your post-procedure journey. Of course if video or phone consults are preferred we can accomodate this.
Our dietitian’s also have a Body Composition Scanner in each consult room. This machine uses advanced scanning technology to accurately measure muscle, fat and bone mass for the body as a whole, as well as separate body parts.
In addition to your follow ups you’ll also receive a 12 month online Habit Change Course created by Dr Gina Cleo, one of the world’s leading experts in habits. You will feel equipped and encouraged to achieve long term success.
Medical Care
Your post-procedure care will remain in the hands of Dr Balalis (who will also perform your balloon placement) and our highly trained clinical nurse.
Following your balloon placement you’ll receive follow ups with Dr Balalis and our nursing team and as many additional appointments as required.
