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.
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
Obesity develops due to a combination of:
Excess calorie intake
Sedentary lifestyle
Genetic predisposition
Hormonal imbalances
Stress and emotional eating
Metabolic disorders
Poor sleep patterns
Medical evaluation is recommended if:
Weight gain is progressive and uncontrollable
Lifestyle modifications fail to achieve results
Obesity begins affecting daily activities
You are developing obesity-related health issues
You want a non-surgical weight-loss option
Family history of obesity
Poor dietary habits
Lack of physical activity
Stress-related eating
Insulin resistance
Hormonal disorders such as PCOS or hypothyroidism
Before POSE, patients undergo comprehensive evaluation including:
BMI and body composition analysis
Blood tests (lipid profile, glucose levels, thyroid function)
Upper GI endoscopy
Nutritional assessment
Psychological evaluation
Cardiac and pulmonary clearance (if required)
Do’s:
Follow the post-procedure diet plan strictly
Drink adequate fluids in small, frequent sips
Attend nutritional and lifestyle counselling sessions
Engage in light physical activity as advised
Keep regular follow-up appointments
Don’ts:
Avoid overeating or snacking between meals
Do not consume carbonated or sugary drinks
