My story with the Allurion Program at LIMARP
My name is Claudia López, and I’m here at LIMARP to share my experience with the Allurion program. I had my balloon placed by Dr. Pompa.
Why I Chose LIMARP
I had my procedure done at the end of July 2023. There were several reasons why I made this decision:
- The trust I felt in the clinic.
- I had been trying to lose weight for a long time but wasn’t seeing results. I needed something that would truly help me.
- The confidence I gained after speaking with the team and learning more about the Allurion program.
The most important reason was trust. When they explained the program to me, I felt reassured by the way they described everything. Dr. Fernanda and the entire team made me feel comfortable and safe. I also looked up the clinic online, and when I saw the facilities, I knew this was the right place for me.
The Preparation Process
Before getting the balloon, I went through a preparation process with a nutritionist, a psychologist, and the medical team. It wasn’t difficult at all! They gave me all the information I needed and explained exactly what to expect. This actually helped ease my fears because I felt prepared and knew what was coming.
How My Life Changed After the Procedure
This experience changed a lot for me:
- My eating habits improved.
- My self-esteem increased, which was a huge deal for me.
- I became more mindful of what I eat and how it affects my body.
It even influenced my family! When I feel good, that energy spreads to the people around me. It’s been a positive change for all of us.
The Importance of Follow-Up Support
The follow-up with the nutritionist and psychologist has been a key part of my journey. The support I’ve received from LIMARP has been amazing. The team is honest, supportive, and always there to guide me.
Would I Recommend LIMARP? Absolutely!
From the moment you step into the clinic, you can feel the professionalism and care. That sense of trust is so important when making a decision like this. I 100% recommend LIMARP!
Advice to My Younger Self
If I could talk to myself 10 years ago, I’d say:
- Eat better.
- Don’t let social pressures or outside influences dictate your choices.
- Your health is for YOU, not for others. Focus on what makes you feel good.
Was the Procedure Difficult?
Not at all! Honestly, it felt like swallowing a pill. I didn’t feel anything uncomfortable. The doctors, including Dr. Fernanda and Dr. Pompa, were with me the whole time, making sure I felt safe. The process was quick, simple, and much easier than I expected.
For Anyone Who’s Afraid of Getting the Balloon…
Don’t be scared! I was nervous at first too, but the benefits far outweigh that initial fear. Fear is something we create in our minds, but once you go through the process, you realize there was nothing to worry about.
If you’re thinking about doing it, take the step! The rewards are so much greater than that brief moment of fear.
