Short and long term comfort and success

After seeing my surgeon yesterday, I discovered he does an open RNY with a little twist. He places a nickel-size silastic ring around the new pouch. He said this is the same as Dr. Fobi in Ca lifornia does and he feels it combines the best of both the RNY and the VBG (ring) to provide the best long term weight maintenence. I would like to here from anybody who's had a Fobi pouch and how their progress has been. I'm particularly concerned with food getting "stuck" at the ring and vomiting. Can you all give me the benefit of your experience please? Thanks.
