I'm still trying to figure out the point of this post. Are you boasting? Seriously, it sounds like you hit the WLS lottery. Enjoy.
In all the years I have been around I have seen the wide range, from people who can whatever they want and still lose weight, even years later, to people who follow the rules the best they are able and can't get all their weight off.
It really seem arbitrary to me and even unfair. I have a cousin who had her surgery the year before me, in 2001. My sister had a RNY a few months before me. Out of the three of us both my sister and myself regained, I had a revision and lost all my excess weight and my cousin eats what she likes and is very thin.
I keep my weight off by watching what I eat. No free ride for me. Do I wish I was like my cousin? Sometimes, not because she can eat what she wants but because she can eat without guilt or worry. She pretty much eats like she did when she was over 300 lbs, smaller amounts of course, and never stresses over it.
I do wonder though. If you are 10 years post op and can't stop losing, how is it you haven't completely disappeared? I mean, if I kept losing weight for 10 years I would eventually run out of weight to lose. So either this is very new situation or you have lost a very small amount of weight over a long period of time to get to the point you are at now.

Yes, I was trying to make those calculations of pounds lost spanning 10 years - 16.9lbs per year. At 168lbs and 6'1, Next year he will be 151lbs, in 2017 he will be 134.1lbs, 2018 he will be 117.2, 2019 he will be 100.1lbs and by 2020, he will maybe have to kiss and say goodbye at 83.2lbs. It's like the Stephen King novel "Thinner". Lol Maybe a Gypsy put a spell on him
You're assuming the loss is linear. Most likely it's parabolic, but there's a chance it's an inverse tangent function approaching an asymptote.

Ah, college... I had a huge crush on my Calc I and II professor, and LOVED the way he said "asymptote" (with just a hint of an adorable lisp and a delicate puff of air on the "p") and "L'Hopital's Rule" (sounded very sophisticated). Ah, to be 19 again...
