The surgeon I'm looking into here in my area (DC metro region) had the procedure listed on his website. I'm hoping to attend a seminar tomorrow evening, so hopefully he will mention it. Like you mentioned though, it's still in trial stages and on his website he stated that insurance would not cover it.

Yeah, Howard's website said it was a revision, but I'm not sure if Dr. Umbach's facility performs is as such. Sorta confusing lol.

I hear ya. POSE sounds interesting but the thing that bothers me about it is that there isn't a lot of data out there.

Yeah, I don't want to be a guinea pig for a new procedure. That's part of why I like the band option. They went through my belly button so the scar is hidden. The band has been around for a very long time for long term studies. I have a pretty good idea as to what I've gotten myself into. I have a decent understanding of the success rates 10 years out, mortality, weight regain, revisions, etc.

Good luck on your research.

I had it done. II lost around 18 LLb and was over the moon. Of course I was on shakes and fluids for a few weeks after and slowly introducing soft foods. It is a in out procedure but I have to say I felt very ill on the first night and wish id stayed in hospital . In one year I easily gained the weight back. I did try very hard after spending all that money but the appetite soon returns to normal and the desire to enjoy your food. It the worst thing I have ever done, spending 9000 euros on the POSE. Id not recommend this to anyone. The only thing it has given me is acid every night.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
