POSE® (Primary Obesity Surgery Endoscopically)

What is the POSE® procedure?

POSE® (Primary Obesity Surgery Endoscopically) is an incision-free procedure for those seeking weight loss surgery. It is designed to be a simple, as safe as possible and minimally invasive bariatric procedure.

Why is POSE® different?

What makes the POSE® procedure different from other weight loss surgeries is that the procedure is performed using flexible instruments inserted through the patient’s mouth, and not through making any incisions into the body, which means no external scarring, less post-operative discomfort, a short daycase procedure and a fast recovery within days.
As a result of being incision free and effective POSE has become popular throughout the US and is now also available in the UK at Nuffield Health.

How the POSE® procedure helps you lose weight

During the POSE® Procedure, flexible instruments are inserted through the patient's mouth and used to place several tissue anchors to fold up the top part of the stomach (fundus). This has the effect of reducing the capacity of the stomach, enabling the patient to feel fuller more quickly, and also to alter the levels of the hunger hormones released by the stomach, which reduces hunger levels. These effects combined with help with the diet and increased levels of exercise can lead to significant, sustained weight loss.

Post procedure support

After the procedure our dieticians will be on hand to help you make some changes to your basic eating habits to ensure that you get the greatest long term effect from your POSE weight loss surgery procedure.

POSE® is now available at Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital
