Bob, how much more do you need to lose? Have you looked at getting an "update" with either the Rose or Stomaphx procedures, if a stretched stoma/pouch is the problem (I've heard the Rose is the better of the two)? Or possibly a revision to DS?

Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

Since I never set a goal, I don't know how much more I "need" to lose. I haven't been on a scale in about 9 mos. My weight then was 365 lbs. If you saw me eat, you'd know that my pouch is fine. I can't eat much at most meals. My problem is that I continuously eat between meals. I know I'm a carb addict and a junk food junkie. I've been unsuccessful in finding a food addiction counselor in my area that accepts my ins. This is a problem I've been dealing with for over 30 years. I've mentioned in the past that, when I start "climbing the walls" when I don't have my addictive foods, I usually just give in to the desire to eat. I am manic- depressive and if I don't have my addictive food, I tend to get depressed and anxious. I'm normally a very anxious person. I just can't take it and I eat the junk. I know this is the one thing that the various weight loss surgeries cannot cure. This is the way to defeat the pouch or any other WLS tool. Beware, brothers, that you don't fall into a food addiction.
