A New Chapter in Weight Loss: First Allurion Balloon Placed in New York
The Allurion Capsule Balloon, also known as a swallowable gastric balloon, is a non-surgical weight loss option that does not require endoscopy or anesthesia. Patients swallow a capsule that expands in the stomach, helping them feel full sooner and reduce food intake. Now available at EndoSlim Clinic NY, this minimally invasive solution supports consistent, medically guided weight loss.
Introduction
Today, we made history.
EndoSlim Clinic NY became the first office in New York to place the Allurion Capsule Balloon — a swallowable gastric balloon that changes how patients approach weight loss.
No operating room. Patients simply swallow a capsule.
A Milestone in NYC
EndoSlim Clinic is now the first practice in NYC to offer the Allurion Balloon — and today marked our first placements.
Performed by Dr. Alexander Shapsis, all cases were smooth, efficient, and exactly how this technology is designed to work:
- Swallow. Confirm. Done.
- No surgery. No endoscopy.
- Just a clinically guided, non-invasive approach to weight loss.
This is a new era — and we’re just getting started.
Stay tuned for real patient journeys and results. Finally, a weight loss plan that fits your life.

What Makes This Different
- No surgery.
- No endoscopy.
- No anesthesia.
Just a swallowable gastric balloon that expands once it reaches the stomach.
It’s filled to help patients feel full sooner — and stay consistent with their nutrition.
Why This Matters
For many patients, the hardest part isn’t starting.
- It’s staying consistent.
- Hunger returns. Portions increase. Progress slows.
- The Allurion Balloon changes that early.
It creates a natural sense of fullness — not forced, not extreme — just enough to support better habits.

This is what the future of medicine looks like:
- Minimally invasive.
