  20. 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.
  21. 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
