Bad Habits + Flipped Port + Unresolved Emotional Issues = Weight Gain

I had surgery in 8/09, lost 50#, had my port flip and have gained back 45#. :(

 

I didn't like how I got stuck on healthy foods. I got in the habit of adding sauces, gravy, etc.. to be able to eat healthy food. Then I started eating more junk food like ice cream, yogurt, cookies, even an donuts sometimes. Junk food doesn't get stuck.

 

:huh: I have been debating for over a year whether to have my port reattached or just have the lapband removed.

 

Also if I did have it fixed, where to have it fixed. I had my surgery in Mexico, my fill doctor is 100 miles away. I am thinking that I want to get it fixed here in my hometown by a doctor that will do my fills and also have a regular councilor/ psychologist on staff that could help me work thru my issues.

:rolleyes:Do any of your doctors have a councilor on staff for regular sessions to help work thru issues?

 

Thank you for any advice :D

The local doctors sounds like the way to go. Have you contacted his office yet? If not, I'd be gettin' on the horn if I were you! Good luck!

I posted on Ghia79's page since she has one of the local doctors to see what she thought of him and his office people.

I think your right.

I think local so I go regularly and with people I get along with well and with a councilor to deal with my underlying issues that lead to the emotional eating.

Thank you for your support :-)
