Our experienced bariatric specialists at The Center will evaluate your unique condition and help you determine which course of treatment is best for you. Not all patients qualify for bariatric surgery. These are the kind of questions you will be asked:
- Are you 100 pounds or more overweight?
- With a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher
- Are you 80 pounds overweight with related health problems?
- With a BMI of 35 or higher, plus conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea
- Do you have a history of obesity?
- Have you made multiple attempts to lose weight without long-term success?
- Are you willing to make lifelong changes in your diet? And follow other lifestyle changes recommended by our weight loss team?

In addition, our program offers medically supervised weight management for patients who do not qualify for surgery or simply prefer to take a different approach. Non-surgical bariatric weight loss services range from dietary and diabetes counseling to seminars and community education.

You are able to lose weight via a groundbreaking incisionless, pain-free weight loss procedure known as POSE (Primary Obesity Surgery, Endolumenal). This new procedure can be arranged through www.SecretSurgery.co.uk in London or Leeds (UK)

FREE CONSULTATIONS CALL 0843 289 4 982

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.
