Primary Obesity Surgery - Endoluminal

Primary Obesity Surgery - Endoluminal (POSE) is a minimally invasive, incision-less weight-loss procedure designed for individuals struggling with obesity who have not achieved sustained results through diet, exercise, or medication. The procedure is performed entirely through the mouth, without external cuts or scars, using an endoscopic device.

POSE reduces stomach volume by creating internal folds (plications), helping patients feel full sooner and eat smaller portions. It is especially suitable for patients with mild to moderate obesity who are not ideal candidates for traditional bariatric surgery.

Through VivaVel Health, international patients can access advanced endoluminal bariatric procedures in India, performed at accredited hospitals by experienced bariatric endoscopists.

Signs & Symptoms

 POSE may be considered if you experience:

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30 and 40

  • Difficulty losing weight despite lifestyle changes

  • Obesity-related fatigue

  • Joint pain due to excess weight

  • Early signs of metabolic conditions

  • Emotional distress related to weight gain
