rose procedure for those *****streched their pouch

have any of you heard of or had the rose procedure done?  i'm just curious about it and wanted to know if any one has had it done instead of getting a revision to the rny?

 I have heard that it isn't that affective.   You may want to post this on the Revision board.   Good luck.

Flat out, 100% of the time ROSE does not work. Check out the revision boards. The ONLY people pushing it are the people doing it. Patients, 100% of the time report that they lose about 20# on the post op diet and as soon as they start solids again they regain the 20#.

Don't waste your money.

 Dr Marc Bessler at Columbia University performs that,, I go to his colleagues for care of my esophagus who argued on my behalf for my DS with the doctors at Cornell,,he doesn't do the DS,,, so I didn't even consult with Dr Bessler. google him for details

I also have not heard any good results for the ROSE procedure but like others said.. the revision board would be a good place to look.

Rose and Stomaphyx don't work. I've been reading the revision board for years, and have never seen anyone post positively about the procedure. They have it done, lost 10-20 lbs with the liquid diet, and once the liquid diet is over they regain that and more.

The only time there's been a positive post, it's been from a shill from a doctor's office. You can tell because they registered just that day (or week), they speak glowingly about the procedure, and then are never heard from again.

I've been on these boards since 2002, and I've seen many RNYers spend money on this useless procedure, only to wind up feeling even more guilty about weight gain.
