I'm so sorry :( Do you belong to a church? If so I'd talk to your minister or pastor to find out what kind of help he can recommend. If not, I wonder if your area has a line you can call?

Unfortunately she has placed the addiction of food with alcohol, dealing with the emotional issues of addiction will surely help your whole family. You should try to get into some counseling together. Have an honest conversation with your kids, all sit down and discuss the feelings that drinking has on each of you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
