Just made four years out this weekend - so the not being able to maintain is crap to me. RNY is a tool - just like a drill - if you don't know how to operate it, or do silly **** with it - you'll break it and hurt yourself.
I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions! I'm saving on the newsstand price.......

Did you give up on appealing for the DS? Lots of people have won.

94 Lbs down...6 more to go...changed goal to see Onderland for a hot second!
I can't find it now, but I read several studies on the future of wls patients and maintenance. In one, Black American females had slighly higher regain along the lines of what's refferred to as bounce back, the few pounds normally regained above your lowest weight.
There was no higher incidence of wls failure as defined by the study (success = maintaining a given % of excess pounds lost for life). We loose and maintain as well as anyone else.
Work the program, use your tool and listen to your pouch.
