I'm not Hala, but I have a lot of issues, so I'll answer for me
I found I was a dumper about 24 hours postop (they gave me Glucerna in the hospital and I dumped like a truck). I'm one of the dumpers whose dumping is getting worse not better.
I suspected RH for a while, but confirmed it 3 years postop. It's really bad now.
I was maintaining or losing up until the RH started to really knock me back, and finally overcame the problem of losing more than I should by stuffing my face for the RH.....

I chased my dreams, and my dreams, they caught me!

I think thanks are due to the brave LL & celticnurse for sticking up for us RNYers.
That being said, I read her post and think she's a bit delusional. Maybe a frustrated writer? Just likes spreading sarcasm like fertilizer? Regardless, it was 5 min of reading that I'd like to have back in my life.
If the Band works for her, great. There are lots of people who it has worked for. I would never knock their success. I'm not one of those it would have worked for and, side-effects & all, love my RNY and know it was the right choice for me.
