Every Weight Loss Journey Is Different
Like many patients, Elena had previously explored different approaches to weight loss management. She was looking for an option that aligned with her lifestyle and goals without surgery, endoscopy, anesthesia, or significant recovery time.
That search led her to the Allurion Program at EndoSlim Clinic NY.
At EndoSlim Clinic NY, we understand that there is no single solution that works for everyone. Some patients choose medications, some pursue endoscopic procedures, and others prefer non-surgical options like the Allurion Smart Capsule.
“Every patient has a different story. That’s why we focus on individualized treatment plans rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.” — Dr. Shapsis
What Is the Allurion Smart Capsule?
The Allurion Smart Capsule is a swallowable gastric balloon designed to support medically supervised weight loss. It is placed during a simple in-office visit and does not require surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia.
- No surgery
- No endoscopy
- No anesthesia
- No recovery time required
- Temporary balloon that naturally passes on its own after approximately 4 months
- Ongoing physician-guided support throughout the program
The capsule is swallowed during a brief office visit. Once it reaches the stomach, it is filled with fluid and begins helping patients feel full sooner while supporting portion control and healthier eating habits.
After approximately four months, the balloon naturally deflates and passes through the digestive tract without requiring a removal procedure.

Inside Elena’s Allurion Smart Capsule Experience
For Elena, one of the biggest advantages was how straightforward the process was.
The procedure took approximately 10–15 minutes in the office. Elena swallowed the capsule, placement was confirmed, and the balloon was filled. Shortly afterward, she was able to continue with normal daily activities without recovery time associated with surgery or anesthesia.
Many patients are surprised by how simple the experience can be.
“Patients often expect something much more involved. In reality, the procedure is quick, minimally disruptive, and designed to fit into everyday life.” — Dr. Shapsis
