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.

 I did have the stomaphyx procedure and it did not work and then had the ROSE procedure which worked great.  You shouldn't make such accusations.

Topic: RE: Dr. Shawn Garber
 Dr. Garber offers both the ROSE procedure and banding over bypass.  I have heard good results with both at his support group meetings from his post-op patients.  He supposedly has one of the largest experiences with revision in the US.

Topic: RE: Dr. Shawn Garber
 Dr. Garber no longer does the Stomaphyx because it doesn't work and only does the ROSE procedure.  I had amazing results with the ROSE.  You should probably contact him to look into the ROSE.  He made my stoma really tight down to 5 mm.

 I had the ROSE procedure by Dr. Garber in NY and it worked great.  I got back my quick sense of fullness after eating and I now stay full longer after meals.  I recommend the procedure. Dr. Garber has the largest experience in the world with ROSE. Good to luck to you.

Topic: RE: StomaphyX Procedure
 Stomaphyx does not work.  My surgeon Dr. Garber in NY stopped performing these because the results were horrible.  He now does the ROSE procedure and has had great results.  I had the result and it has worked great.  Good luck.

 Stomaphyx doesn't work.  Look into the ROSE procedure or Lapband over the bypass.

 The stomaphyx is a scam that does not work.  Look into the ROSE procedure.  My doctor has closed fistulas with the ROSE procedure.  Dr. Shawn Garber in NY.

Topic: RE: Rose Procedure
 I had the ROSE procedure by Dr. Garber in NY and lost 75 lbs.  He made my stoma really tight and I get full very quickly after eating and stay satisfied for a long time after eating. I think he has done more than most surgeon in the US.  Experience with this procedure probably leads to better results because it is such a new procedure. He is also very accessible via email anytime to ask questions.

Topic: RE: large stoma
 The best option is the ROSe procedure done endoscopically to tighten your stoma.  It is the only endoscopic revision procedure which works.  The other option is putting a lapband over gastric bypass. My surgeon Dr. Shawn Garber performs these procedures in NY.

 You should check out Dr. Shawn Garber on Long Island.  He has one of the largest experiences with endoscopic revision surgery and performs the ROSE procedure. You shouldn't need to wait until November

Topic: RE: Stomaphyx Results! Positive Inquiries Only
 My surgeon says the Stomaphyx does not work and that the ROSE procedure is much better.  Look into having the ROSE procedure and don't waste your money on the Stomaphyx

Topic: RE: No Band Over Bypass?
 You obviously need to chose another surgeon who know what he is doing.  My surgeon Dr. Shawn Garber does lots of bands over previous gastric bypasses.

Topic: RE: My ROSE Experience
 I am sorry to hear about your problems with the ROSE procedure.  You should not blame it on the ROSE procedure but on your surgeon who probably had minimal experience performing this advanced endoscopic procedure.  My surgeon Dr. Shawn Garber who has one of the largest experiences with the ROSE procedure in the US performed my ROSE procedure with great success in only 30 minutes.  It is important to research your surgeon and their experience prior to undergoing a procedure and not being a guinea pig.

Topic: RE: ROSE
 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.
