POSE method

POSE method

This weight loss technique consists of a stomach reduction without external incisions. POSE offers important advantages over other conventional bariatric surgeries.

The POSE method is a weight-loss technique that consists of a stomach reduction without external incisions. POSE, being a procedure without incisions, offers important advantages compared to other conventional bariatric surgeries: less pain, decreased risk of infection, absence of external scars, faster recovery and shorter hospital or outpatient stays. .

The novel technique is especially indicated for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 and 40, who have repeatedly failed with diets and other weight loss treatments.

It is also indicated in those patients who have regained weight after having undergone treatment using the intragastric balloon or who do not wish to undergo major surgery.

With the POSE method you can lose between 45%-55% of your excess weight. Experience in the US tells us that when patients begin to lose weight during the first 4 weeks after the procedure, that is when they begin to feel the sensation of fullness.

The final result of the treatment will depend to a large extent on the level of adherence to the eating habits re-education program and lifestyle.

Technique

The surgery is performed endoscopically and consists of creating a series of folds in the stomach, specifically in the gastric fundus, the region responsible for providing the sensation of satiety, and in the antrom, to make it difficult to empty. The goal is to reduce the size and shape of the gastric cavity so that the patient is satiated by eating less food and to delay stomach emptying so there is less feeling of hunger between meals.

Most patients return to their normal activities one or two days after the intervention. Although it will always depend on each case.
