The POSE incisionless weight loss procedure is a major breakthrough in the treatment of obesity.
POSE is part of a developing trend towards safer, less invasive procedures that produce the same results as traditional, more radical surgery. It works by reducing the size of the stomach pouch and the connection to the small intestine. The result is a dramatic decrease in stomach capacity and hunger, leading to substantial weight loss.
What are the benefits of POSE?
POSE really is a ‘new generation’ treatment. This ground-breaking technology uses state of the art equipment to perform the procedure solely via the mouth.
As there are no incisions, the benefits include a fast recovery (many patients have returned to work the following day) and no scarring. There is a reduced risk of infection and very little discomfort after the procedure.
As your stomach is around 15% smaller after POSE and you have lost the flexibility of the fundus, you will feel fuller more quickly after eating and your hunger levels will decrease.
You will return to the hospital for your review appointment 6 weeks after your procedure and that’s it! No adjustments, no repeat appointments – it is so easy.
At the National Obesity Surgery Centre we believe that support is essential, irrespective of how you lose weight. The multi disciplinary support team will assist you with the nutritional and behavioural aspects of you POSE procedure and will always be on hand for any help you may require.
