Are any ideas welcome???? I have worked really hard to find out what

naturally slim people think that we don't . . and the biggest difference is

that they hate that " Just having eaten feeling " that we love and look for . .

.. So if you can feel that you have eaten at all . . . you ate too much.

Please try to just eat until you are not hungry.

Most of us Selinkoff from San /Austin patients have had the very

standard RNY. Dr. Selinkoff's first line of defense after what you've

described is to install a silastic ring at the stoma.

I think there are some possible problems with the ring, but the alternatives

are more extreme. Maybe it's time to ask around a bit.
