A Revolutionary Approach to Weight Loss: The POSE-2 Procedure at Novomed

The POSE-2 Procedure (Primary Obesity Surgery Endoluminal 2), also known as Gastric Plication, is a groundbreaking, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce stomach size and help patients achieve significant weight loss. As a permanent and incisionless procedure, POSE-2 offers the benefits of surgical weight loss methods without the associated risks or lengthy recovery time. With more than 12,000 successful procedures worldwide, the enhanced POSE-2 technique provides a safe, effective solution for those struggling with excess weight.

Why Choose POSE-2 for Weight Loss?

POSE-2 is performed endoscopically, meaning specialized instruments are passed from the mouth through the esophagus, avoiding any external incisions. The procedure takes less than an hour and patients can typically resume normal activities within a few days. The method reduces stomach capacity by creating folds in the stomach, resulting in a feeling of fullness with smaller food portions and significantly reducing hunger.

The POSE 2 procedure works by creating folds in two key areas of the stomach:

Upper Stomach Folds: These target the fundus, the part of the stomach that expands as you eat. By restricting this area, POSE-2 reduces the stomach’s ability to expand, helping you feel full faster. Additionally, it limits the release of hunger signals.
Lower Stomach Folds: These folds slow the emptying of food from the stomach, prolonging the feeling of fullness between meals.

Is POSE-2 the Right Option for You?

POSE-2 is ideal for individuals who are 10 to 30 kilograms overweight and seeking a permanent, non-surgical solution to their weight loss challenges. This procedure is perfect for those who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone and are committed to a long-term weight loss strategy. To ensure optimal results, patients should follow a structured diet and exercise program for at least one year after the procedure.

How Does the POSE-2 Procedure Work?

The POSE-2 procedure utilizes advanced endoscopic technology, including the g-Cath™ EZ Delivery Catheter and the Incisionless Operating Platform™. These tools allow the physician to create rows of folds in the stomach, which are secured using Snowshoe® suture anchors, ensuring long-lasting results.

Upper Stomach Folds: Flatten the fundus to reduce hunger cravings and help you eat less.
Lower Stomach Folds: Slow down the stomach’s emptying process, extending the time between meals and keeping you satisfied for longer.

A Step-by-Step Guide to the POSE 2 Procedure at Novomed

Pre-Procedure Evaluation: At Novomed, your POSE 2 journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to ensure your suitability for the procedure. Our experienced weight loss specialists will conduct a thorough assessment, including reviewing your medical history to identify any potential contraindications or risk factors, performing a physical examination to assess your overall health and suitability for the procedure, and conducting a psychological evaluation to evaluate your motivation, expectations, and support system.
Sedation: To ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience during the POSE 2 procedure, we will administer an anesthetic. This will help you relax and minimize any discomfort throughout the procedure. The type of anesthesia used will be determined based on your individual needs and preferences.
Endoscopic Insertion: The POSE 2 procedure is performed using an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached. The endoscope is carefully inserted through the mouth and into the stomach. This minimally invasive approach allows our bariatric endoscopist to visualize the stomach and perform the procedure without the need for incisions.
Stomach Plication: Once the endoscope is in place, our skilled weight loss specialist will use specialized instruments to create folds in the stomach. These folds help to reduce the stomach’s capacity and promote satiety, leading to weight loss.
Recovery: Following the POSE 2 procedure, you will be closely monitored during your recovery. Most patients can typically return home the same day. The recovery process is generally mild, with minimal discomfort. Our team will provide you with specific post-procedure instructions, including dietary recommendations and guidelines for exercise.
Aftercare and Support: At Novomed, we are committed to providing comprehensive aftercare support to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Our team will offer ongoing guidance, including personalized meal plans and dietary advice to support your weight loss journey, tailored exercise programs to help you stay active and burn calories and regular check-ups to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
