Post menopausal band to RNY weight loss stats?

I am exploring band to RNY since the band and I haven't gotten along well. ;-) I got the band in 2005 and lost 45 pounds, but have gained it back, with reflux issues as well. I am aware that not being a virgin surgery, I may loose more slowly. But I'm curious if my slowed metabolism from menopause will also add a slowness to my weight loss with a RNY. 

Thanks!

Hi AK,

Tough question as everyone's body is different.  I find I can lose but I have to work at it harder.  Stay totally on the food plan and move, move, move.  I am not talking body building, but moving whenever I can.  Be sure and talk to your doctor about this as there are lots of things you can do to help if your metabolism is not working right.
