When I heard that I wondered why anyone would ever have the RNY. I know that they do because of the insurance coverage primarily, but the DS is definitely doing the work for us. The only thing we have to work on is what do we do with how we feel. He also told us that you can't really outeat this surgery unless you eat a TON of sugar and drink alcohol. Other than that he said the studies show that you only seem to absorb so much then no matter how much you eat it doesn't change. We have a man that started at 500 lbs. and is between 175-180 and is 5 years post op. This guy eats more than any post-op I've seen but maintains his weight just fine. So it must be true!
