The pose as a body posture

Pose can refer to a body posture . Suppose a person needs to repair a pipe that runs behind the toilet (also called a toilet), right next to the bidet.

Obesity

The POSE method allows you to lose weight.

POSE method to lose weight

Obesity is a health problem, but it also has an impact on people's social integration, since excess weight is usually a reason for ridicule and contempt in many areas, in addition to generating disorders in daily life when body dimensions require special seats on transportation and clothing in hard-to-find sizes, for example.

Among the various treatments that exist to lose weight is the so-called POSE ( Primary Obesity Surgery Endoluminal in English, or Primary Endoluminal Surgery for Obesity ), which offers an advantageous alternative to conventional surgeries , since it does not involve making any incisions. and therefore does not leave scars.

The POSE method consists of a simple endoscopy through which certain folds are made in the stomach, with the aim of modifying its size, reducing its capacity and increasing the time it takes to empty. In this way, a small intake causes a feeling of satiety .

This intervention lasts approximately 40 minutes and requires the use of general anesthesia. Since this is not a particularly invasive procedure, it falls into the low-risk category. The hospitalization necessary for the POSE method does not usually exceed 24 hours , although this period must be determined by the professional in each particular case. Likewise, the absence of external wounds and incisions results in a rapid recovery process without excessive discomfort. Furthermore, there are patients who return to their work routine after two days of rest.

As with any weight loss treatment , to obtain the desired results it is necessary to modify your eating habits; In short, the surgical procedure must be complemented with psychological support that teaches the patient to relate to food in a different way. The POSE method promises a reduction of up to 45% of excess weight, but this cannot be achieved if the diet indicated by the doctor is not followed. The first signs of weight loss are noticed during the first month after the intervention.
