Is POSE suitable for me?

You are a suitable candidate if your BMI is between 30 and 38 and you have unsuccessfully tried to lose weight by other means.

Each patient is screened and assessed on an individual basis but this procedure may not be suitable for people who have previously had complicated abdominal surgery.

Why might I choose POSE for my weight loss procedure?

Everyone has a personal view of the most suitable course of treatment. Some people will only ever consider a gastric band as a long term solution, while others will not contemplate undergoing surgery. Some people will see the gastric balloon with its intensive behaviour modification programme as a long term solution, while others will see it only as a temporary measure. POSE will appeal to many people because of its simplicity, quick recovery time, permanence and lack of scarring. However, its greatest appeal is in the inevitable long term weight loss.
