2015 will bring my 10 year anniversary!
Hi all,
I had the roux-ny surgery in Nov 2005. I weighed about 260 lbs at 5'5" tall. It was one of the best choices I've ever made. I have been very successful at keeping the weight off- I have fluctuated- I initially got down to 175 about a year after surgery- but I have lost more over time...currently at about 135- the lowest I have ever been in my adult life. There have been times of great compliance and times of "me do it my way". I know for me that the vertical sleeve or band methods would not have been a good choice for me because there is no doubt that the intestinal change has been what has made me this successful. I still can "dump" from high fat/sugar foods- and if I eat too much or too fast I can still feel crampy and uncomfortable after. I can eat everything.....and certain foods (like high fat ice creams) only in small amounts. I stop by this site every once in a while to stay inspired but as I am coming to the milestone time I thought I would post something. How do I add photos? It's been a long time.....

Congratulations on your success. My 7th anniversary is in July this year. I regained a few lbs. and am working to get those off plus I would like to lose 20 more. I've been very happy with the surgery. I too dump on sugar and high fat foods. A great motivator for NOT eating such things. Occasionally, I have a 1/2 cup of ice cream but only if the sugar is low. I really don't miss it at all. Never thought I could pass up Rocky Road.
I've not added pictures to a message so can't help you there.
