ROSE or Stomaphyx

Has anyone had one of these procedures or know anyone who has?  I am interested in their results.  Just  researching my revision options and also how much these procedures cost.  

thanks

Most people say they lose about 20 pounds while on the post-surgery diet, and gain it all back once they go back to eating regular foods. If you want to lose more than 20 pounds and keep it off, I strongly suggest you seek a different option, such as the DS.

100% of the time over the last few years on this very board people write of having either of these procedures and as MsBatt writes, they lose about 20# on the post op diet and as soon as they start solids they regain it all back. 100% of the time.

:o(

I had a stomaphyx.   I did not lose one pound.  I wasted $8,000 excluding travel expenses.  Finally got smart and had the DS.
Good luck to you.

ok new to this board and was really considering rose ...do insrances generally cover this? and isnt ds like doing it all over again? thx

Unless things have changed recently no, ins doesn't cover ROSE.  It's totally ineffective anyway.

If your ins covers revisions and you meet the requirements they probably will cover a revision to DS.
