Very interesting. Good ideas. I'm 3 years out from my surgery date, and still have 35 pounds to lose. I was morbidly obese at 321 lbs, and at age 61 knew that if I didn't have this surgery, my life wasn't worth much, against my childrens' wishes I went ahead with the RouenY (sp). Because I was so heavy my knees gave out on me, causing me to have total knee joint replacement surgery on both knees. Obviously I wasn't able to do much in the way of exercise and walking so my weight loss slowed to a halt at 200, so now I'm back in a way to where I was before the surgery as far as trying to find a way to lose those extra lbs. I am able to do water aerobics for exercise, but walking is still a energy taker for me, as I also have asthma. I am very grateful for the 120 lbs. lost, but would love to be able to lose the other 35. My pouch has never been restricted to 2-3 ounces of food. I can still eat a "regular" meal. Which is a major problem.
