    POSE VS SLEEVE SURGERY

    To perform the incisionless POSE procedures, Drs. Thomas and Lavin used USGI Medical Inc.’s (San Clemente, Calif.) Incisionless Operating Platform (IOP) and a flexible endoscope to visualize the stomach. They inserted the scope and the IOP through the patient’s mouth and then used the IOP tools to grasp the stomach tissue and deploy suture anchors to create multiple tissue folds in the stomach wall to reduce its volume capacity.

    POSE VS SLEEVE SURGERY

    The Dr. said where they go in through your mouth into your stomach and staple your stomach it's a new procedure that he offers
  23. Hello all my name is Cathy I'll be having my sleeve in May and of course very nervous. I have a boss that is not very happy about me having this done. Will I be strong enough to return to work in one or two weeks. I drive 1 hour to get to work. Work 9 hrs. and drive 1 hr. home. I do have a desk job. Will I feel weak at work for a while?
