Reduce Your Stomach Size (Again) After Gastric Bypass
The ROSE procedure in Plano is a revision technique for patients who have regained weight after gastric bypass surgery. Performed by Dr. Carlton, it uses an endoscope—a thin, flexible tube inserted through your mouth—to place sutures that create folds in your stomach pouch, reducing its size without external incisions. This minimally invasive method restores the stomach to its post-bypass size, helping you feel full sooner and eat less. The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete.
Benefits of the ROSE Procedure:
- Minimally invasive, with no external incisions
- Reduced risk of infection and post-operative complications
- Faster recovery time compared to traditional surgery
- No abdominal scars
- Effective in reducing stomach pouch size and aiding weight loss
- Performed under anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort
- Short procedure time, typically less than an hour
- Can improve weight-related health conditions like sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes
- Allows patients to return to normal activities within a few days
How Does the ROSE Procedure Work?
The ROSE procedure in Plano uses an endoscope—a flexible, thin tube inserted through your mouth—to reduce the size of your stomach pouch.
Dr. Carlton inserts the endoscopic system into your stomach pouch. This system has tools that create folds in the stomach tissue by placing sutures, making the pouch smaller. These folds decrease the stomach’s volume, helping you feel full with less food. The procedure involves no external incisions, meaning no visible scars and a lower risk of infection.
Am I a Candidate for the ROSE Procedure?
You might be a candidate for the ROSE procedure if you’ve had gastric bypass surgery and are experiencing weight regain due to an enlarged stomach pouch. There are no strict body mass index (BMI) criteria for this procedure. The ideal candidates are those who initially lost weight after gastric bypass but are now struggling with weight regain. To determine your eligibility, you’ll undergo a series of evaluations, including nutritional counseling, a full medical exam, and an endoscopy. Dr. Carlton and the LoneStar team will guide you through this process.
How Much Weight Can I Lose With the ROSE Procedure?
The amount of weight you can lose with the ROSE procedure in Plano varies based on how much weight you regained after your initial gastric bypass. The procedure effectively restores the stomach pouch to its original post-bypass size, helping you feel full sooner and eat less. While individual results can differ, many patients experience significant weight loss and improvements in weight-related health conditions. Success depends on your commitment to following a healthy diet and exercise plan, as guided by Dr. Carlton and our team.
ROSE Procedure FAQs
What Is the Recovery Like After the ROSE Procedure?
After the ROSE procedure, you will need to take a few days off work to recover. Initially, you’ll be on a special liquid diet, gradually transition to soft foods like oatmeal and bananas, and then eventually return to a normal diet. There are no lifting restrictions, and most patients experience minimal discomfort, such as a sore throat or mild swelling.
Are There Any Additional Health Benefits Besides Weight Loss?
Yes, the ROSE procedure in Plano can improve several weight-related health conditions. Patients often see improvements in sleep apnea, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and dyslipidemia, which is an abnormal amount of lipids in the blood. In some cases, these conditions may even resolve completely, contributing to overall better health.
Is the ROSE Procedure Safe?
The ROSE procedure is considered very safe, especially compared to traditional surgical methods. As with any medical procedure, there are some risks, including bleeding and perforation. However, the minimally invasive nature of ROSE reduces the likelihood of complications associated with open or laparoscopic surgeries.
Will the Procedure Leave Any Scars?
No, the ROSE procedure is incisionless, meaning there are no external cuts or scars. The endoscope and surgical tools are inserted through your mouth, eliminating the need for skin incisions. This results in a lower risk of infection, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery.
