Emilio Codorniz
I’ve been feeling great throughout this process; my self-esteem, my image, my vitality, and my energy have all changed because I’m no longer overweight. I’m not as tired anymore, and I no longer eat until I feel stuffed. On the contrary, I’ve learned how to eat properly.
Shantal Maldonado
I spent years trying to lose weight with diets and exercise without success, and it was incredibly frustrating. I reached the point where I said, "I need help." From the moment I had my first appointment with Dr. Pompa, she gave me so much confidence, and I left feeling fully determined to go through with the surgery.
Anahí Ortega
The way the staff at LIMARP works makes you feel like they already know you. It’s not like a typical clinic where you’re treated as just another patient. They make you feel truly welcome. They’re incredibly kind, caring, and supportive. It’s so nice to come to a place where you feel seen and heard.
Sandra Hernández
Before my surgery, I struggled with both hypertension and diabetes. I began noticing results even before the procedure, as the preoperative diet helped me lose some weight. After the surgery, the weight came off quickly, and my life transformed completely. I am no longer diabetic or hypertensive, I no longer need medication, and I no longer feel constantly tired. It has truly been a life-changing, 360-degree transformation.

How Does the Allurion Program Work?
The Allurion program consists of a non-surgical treatment that allows patients to lose weight in up to 16 weeks through the use of a swallowable intragastric balloon; this means that this procedure doesn’t require an endoscopy or the use of anesthesia, as is with the traditional intragastric balloon. The idea of swallowing the balloon may raise some eyebrows, but studies[1] have found that, while there is concern for bowel obstruction, the EIGB is “a safe device offering an effective weight loss”.
This non-surgical procedure has also been used in patients who have metabolic syndrome (MS) and who are also obese to test its effectiveness. As we’ve mentioned, an endoscopy is not needed for its placement and removal, and the body excretes it through the digestive tract after four months.
The results were good with the total weight loss being 11.6%, as well as a significant decline in co-morbidities related to MS[2]. These results are possible because the Allurion EIGB limits the amount of food your stomach can hold and keeps you sated to avoid unnecessary eating.
