You neglected to say when you had the ROSE procedure nor how much weight you have lost and kept off with it. Many people reported about BOTH the Rose and Stomaphyx procedures back in 2008. They were all very excited about their initial weight loss, which was primarily based on the pre and post diets they had to be on. Every one of them reported that they gained the weight back and regretted wasting time with the procedures.
The only difference between the ROSE and Stomaphyx according to their reports was the type of mechanism used to make the pouch and stoma smaller. The method of fastening was different, but the technique was the same. Some folks reported that their surgeons' particular technique was more "aggressive" and would therefore be more successful than the others. It wasn't.
If you recently had this procedure, I'm sure everyone on there will join me in wishing you luck with it - maybe you will be the ONE for whom this is successful at a few years out.
Even the most recent posters here who were "cheerleading" this procedure and were disheartened to find out others' negative experiences with it, have disappeared and not come on to report their results. If they were successful with it, I would imagine they would be shouting it from the rooftops!
NEWS FLASH!!!
Here is a link to your old post from 2007, Jonathan, where you say that Dr. Shawn Garber did you STOMAPHYX procedure:

here is a link from a few months ago in 2009, where, you, Jonathan, say that you have had the very same Dr. Garber give you the ROSE Procedure:

THE ONE COMMONALITY IN ALL OF YOUR POSTINGS IS THAT YOU MENTION, YOUR ILLUSTRIOUS DOCTOR GARBER IN ALL OF THEM! FIRST PROMOTING HIS STOMAPHYX AND SAYING THAT HE GAVE IT TO YOU AND THEN SAYING THAT HE SAYS IT "DOESN'T WORK" AND THEN, YOU SOMEHOW GOT THE ROSE PROCEDURE TOO! INTERESTING!

Just come clean and admit that you are an office advocate of Dr. Shawn Garber - or just SHUT UP already!

"I did have the stomaphyx procedure and it did not work"
Well, if what you say, above, is true, then WHY O' WHY did you come onto these boards and push this procedure as being so successful for you in 2007? You were encouraging any and all revision patients to check out your wonderful Dr. Garber for this Stomaphyx procedure, which you raved was so successful for you!
Here is a quote from October of 2007 where you talk about how only three months after the Stomaphyx, you have already lost a whopping 45 lbs!:
"Post Date 10/13/07 11:26 am
Topic: RE: Revisions for Canadian/Ontario Patients?
You should look into the stomaphyx procedure. It worked amazing for me. I already lost 45 pounds. I had had it done by Dr. Garber in NY. The cash price is $8800 but my insurance covered the procedure."
But, by August of 2008, you were saying that you were looking into the RESTORE procedure with *guess who?* ... Dr. Garber! Then, a couple of months later, you were looking into the ROSE procedure with, what do you know (?), the same doctor again!! And, golly, gee whiz - you never mention that you already had a failed Stomaphyx procedure when you were promoting Dr. Garber and these other procedures. You sounded like a person who was so excited about finding the *wonderful* Dr. Garber and his revolutionary new procedure.
Here is another quote from one of your posts in 2008 where you say that you "chose" the Rose OVER having the Stomaphyx (which you now say that you had done first) - or did you not think any of us could READ???
" Post Date: 9/6/08 3:41 pm
I am having Dr. Shawn Garber in NY do the procedure for me. He is one of the most experienced with these endoscopic revisions. Has done more than a 100. I heard the Rose procedure has better results than the stomaphyx so that is why I chose the ROse even though it was a little more money."
Here a link to YOUR original post on OH where you say this:
www.obesityhelp.com/forums/revision/3720278/ROSE/#29591255
And, now you're saying that your Dr. Garber did the Stomaphyx FiRST and when it didn't work you got the ROSE procedure?
You are knee-deep in B.S. - I'd quit while I was ahead, if I were you. Your credibility is shot!

You really must have no life to analyze all of my posts. I had stomaphyx and it worked great at first and then I gained back weight and then had ROSE procedure which worked great and have now kept off the weight. You should really find something better to do with your life then attack me for no good reason.
