Primary Obesity Surgery Endolumenal scar free surgery

Hi,

I live in Spain. I have heard about a new technique. Its name is POSE an endoscopic technique, reversible and minimally invasive. With no device implanted.

I don't know anybody who had this technique done.

It is supposed to be very popular among spanish doctors but I need more information.

For example in Valencia (a mediterranean city) the cost is 12.000euros / 16.600 $, is expensive but maybe is worth the effort.

Here you have a piece of news where it is said that spanish doctors use it very often.

Thank you.

sounds, basically like a plication.

The POSE (Primary Obesity Surgery, Endolumenal) procedure is done Endoscopically so there are no scars or incisions. It's an interesting procedure and USGI was recently approved by the FDA to run a one year study on 350 patients in the US.

Please keep us updated if you go ahead with this procedure!
