Will I need to return for regular follow-up appointments after having an Allurion balloon?

Question

How often would a doctor need to see me after I have the Allurion balloon fitted or do I only need to return to my provider if I have questions or concerns?

Hello,  I hope you're well. Your follow ups depend on your doctor. Generally, balloons come in for follow up 1 week, 1 month and 4 months after placement. It also depends on the type of gastric balloon you are getting. I hope this answer was helpful.
