Dah, what is a Rose proceedure?

hi,

ROSE stands for = Revision obesity Esophageal Surgery. It's similiar to stomaphyx. The surgeon goes in through your mouth, while you're uder anesthesia, and uses an instrument that puts clips (plastic) in your pouch and stoma. Creating sort of permanent pleats, which make both the pouch and stoma smaller. I think that ROSE is still in clinical trials. So, if you can get in, that's great, no insurace company to worry about.
