Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Sherry, One thing you may want to consider in your decision of DS vs Rny- Rny folks do have a higher likelyhood of late regain. At 5 years out, the average Rny pt maintains only 65% of excess weight loss. So, regain is more likely. Also, the dumping thing usually lessens with time. So not only could you be eating the carbs you see as a problem, but you may regain a significant ammount of weight. I can send you information from the University Hospital in my state supporting these statistics if you wish. Tonight there was a show on obesity on the Learning Channel. They interviewed a WLS surgeon from Duke University. He to stressed the lower weight loss maintenence with Rny, only he stated it as 50-60% of excess weight loss long-term. Go to the OSSG-Revision list, and see how many are revisions from regain in Rny. There's several. Good luck in your decision, I will support you and be here for you no matter which you choose.
