Dr. Roslin: Why the pyloric valve is SO important. (A must read)
Thanks to:
Joanne B
She participated in this study done by Dr. Roslin and forwarded it to me. Results were published in January. It is sensibly written and explains very precisely why preservation of the pyloric valve is crucial to long-term weight loss:

I learn so much from everybody here. Read it and marvel at your DS awesomeness!

Thanks for posting this, Steve. I am going to add it to my collection on "why chose the DS because of RH in the RNY" info.

I'm home recovering from plastics so I haven't been online much.
This is a great study, it really shows why there is weight regain with RNY, and that it's based on the mechanics of the surgery - not some failure of the person.
