The Importance of Determining the Proper Bariatric Surgery Procedure
Before deciding on bariatric surgery, it is important to identify if you are a good candidate for the surgery. First, you should have a body mass index or BMI of 40 and above. If you have a health condition that is caused by being overweight, then you could qualify with a BMI 35. Bariatric surgery is typically appropriate for people that need to lose 100 pounds or more. There are other factors should also be looked at before undergoing any bariatric surgery.
If you have not been successful in losing weight through traditional methods like exercising and diet plans, then bariatric surgery could be an effective choice. Please bear in mind that bariatric surgery is a lifelong commitment. It requires improvement in the person?s lifestyle especially in terms of eating habits.
The dietary changes you will need to take on may be difficult to adjust to at first. In fact, patients who have undergone this surgery without fully educating themselves on these changes have had the most difficulty making the adjustment.
To summarize, these are the factors that you need to consider before deciding to undergo weight loss surgery:
* Have traditional methods of losing weight like low calorie diet and exercise programs not succeeded in shedding off the excess pounds? * Are you suffering from a life threatening condition caused by excess weight such as diabetes and obesity?
Your weight loss doctor can provide the best insight about the surgeries available to you, and the risks/benefits. Another great resource is by asking other patients who have undergone bariatric procedures. Gaining knowledge and information first hand is helpful in order for you to be well-prepared in terms of the lifestyle adjustments that you will be dealing with after the procedure. These patients can give you ideas on some of the possible side effects, physical challenges, emotional struggles as well as some effective ideas on how to deal with or lessen these problems.
Although weight loss surgery is a great tool to help people lose weight, the effectiveness and result of the bariatric surgery will ultimately depend on how well you maintain a good and healthy diet, and on your compliance to certain post-procedure guidelines. You should be prepared when deciding to undergo bariatric surgery in terms of the physical, mental, emotional and financial aspects. People should also consider the risk factors before undergoing any form of surgery.

The POSE procedure reduces the size of your stomach without making a single incision into the body by utilizing special tools that access the stomach through the mouth and esophagus.
Not only does the procedure not require incisions to reduce the size of the stomach, but it is considered much safer than other surgical options. There has been virtually no complications to date and most patients are able to go back to work within a couple of days.
POSE does not require cutting like gastric bypass and the gastric sleeve or a medical implant like the LAP-BAND or REALIZE Band, yet similar results have been achieved.
Over the past year, a select group of patients have participated in a clinical date registry to evaluate the POSE procedure. Patients enrolled in the trial have applauded the procedure, citing a dramatic decrease in hunger and stomach capacity which has helped them achieve substantial weight loss.
Only a few bariatric centers were chosen to participate in the trials, including: Bluegrass Bariatric Surgical Associates at Central Baptist Hospital; Surgical Specialists of Louisiana; Southeast Bariatrics at Presbyterian Hospital in North Carolina.
To perform the operation, surgeons use a special set of endoscopic surgery tools manufactured by USGI known as the Incisionless Operating Platform (IOP), (formerly known as the EndoSurgical Operating System (EOS)), and a flexible endoscope that is used to visualize the stomach. Patients are put under anesthesia for the procedure. Then, a long, flexible tube that is created specifically for incisionless procedures is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach. The tools are maneuvered into the stomach through the tube.
Once in the stomach, the specialized tools are used to grasp stomach tissue, create tissue folds, and deploy specially designed suture anchors that fasten the folds together. By creating tissue folds, it shrinks the size of the stomach pouch and the connection to the small intestine.
The IOP device manufactured by USGI is also used to perform the ROSE (Restorative Obesity Surgery, Endoluminal) procedure, a revision for gastric bypass patients with weight regain. The ROSE procedure restores the size of the stoma and pouch to post-surgical dimensions.
Like other bariatric surgeries, the POSE procedure is only a weight loss tool. Patients will still need to make dietary and behavior changes to achieve significant weight loss.
This new procedure can be arranged through Secret Surgery and carried out in London or Leeds in the UK.
