Hi Maureen, I too am considering having the Rose procedure.  Can you tell me about your experience, and what your success has been?

how did you pay for the rose procedure? and if you pay out of pocket how much? thank you.

would you please let me know how you are doing sence you had the rose procedure.i am looking into having it done. thanks kathryn

Hi there,  

The closest site to Buffalo, NY would be Rockville Centre, NY- Dr. Garber at Mercy Medical Center.  He's performed more ROSE procedure than anyone to date.

I hope a revision procedure works out for you.  It's not uncommon to meet people in your situation... Having had gastric by-pass in 2001, I can recall my surgeon talking about newer surgical procedures and what they learned from previous gastric by-pass and stomach-stapling.  

He mentioned doctors knew better now about making smaller pouches and different post-op care.

All the hope for you!

Wow that would be quite a trip especially when there would be follow-up visits.
Thank you for the information. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Have a very good day.

Did I goof?  You don't live in Buffalo NY?  Hmmm, I think there are two surgeons performing ROSE in Baltimore, but that may not help either.  Let me know :-)

Yes I do live in the Buffalo NY vicinity.  I actually live in Grand Island Ny.
Rockville Centre Ny is almost 8 hrs away from me.  So it is a long drive. Like I said then there will be follow-up and it is a long trip.
Thanks
Bridget

Have you had ROSE procedure done? I had it done this week and am trying to find others.

Thanks

Dear Anissa, 

I know several people who have had the ROSE procedure and they are doing very well.  I'm sponsoring a telephone support group meeting.

I have not needed a revision WLS, because I've managed weight regain with coaching and thorough food management, plus, I have spurts of good exercise periods. 

Through my journey, I became a certified, professional weight loss coach.  However, I'm not marketing my practice to people on Obesity Help.

What I am offering is a chance to get connected to other ROSE patients on a live, virtual support group meeting.  This weekly coaching meeting is led by Gail and I.  We're both gastric bypass patients turned professional coaches.   

Each call we go through coaching support, success strategies and any important new information/research.  You would have a chance to hear from other ROSE patients.   Then, periodically, I'll bring a surgeon, nurse or other professional to answer technical questions.  

Of course you're invited to jump in with us.  Here's the call in information.  Everything is FREE - the coaching support and the WLS Newsletter.

If you need to reach me, please email/call me directly - 800-535-5732 or [email protected].

Best, 
Roz

The 60-75 min session is held every Wednesday.  We just got started on July 1st and the support will run through December 31.  If the demand is there, I will continue to host them into 2010.
