Vinny, you are not going to gain the weight back.  You are practically what americans view as "normal" weight at this point.  You've lost around 300 lbs!  That is not coming back.  I haven't had surgery, yet.  What you are worried about is the biggest worry that I had going into surgery.  Well, almost.  I was worried that I'd only be partially successful, and then I'd still be fat and can't eat / drink to boot.  I've seen people I know have RY bypass and they lose 80% of thier weight and then that's it.  But I've never really seen the weight come back.  And all the research I've done and 6 months of support group I've been in, has given me the confidence that VSG will be
will be successful, how successful is up to me.  As for you, 300 lbs is amazingly successful.  The holidays are tough, tougher for some more than others.  Hang tough.  Don't beat your self up for stumbling... Stumble, be depressed... but then get over it and start loosing again.  You are not going to do 300 lbs of damange over the holidays.  Take the hit in your war on obesity, the holidays is just one battle.  You are winning the war, don't stress over one battle.  If you want to see a great success story, check out Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.  It's not about bariatric surgery, but is has a very inspriing story of a overweight truck dirver.  Almost like Rocky for me and my weight problem.
