I know food is our addiction or we wouldnt be here. I have heard that when you have an addiction and then you fix that addiction you start another one. Because as humans we do that to lean on something self gratification. For you folks who have had the food addiction and have had surgery and no longer are addicted to food. Have you seen your self get another one like shopping, drinking, smoking. maybe even exercise?

Exercise somewhat....but my biggest new addiction is reading....I swear my kindle is with me at all times....and a good way to pass the time on the treadmill. Oh yeah and this forum!!!! As long as their not harmful I'm not worried about them :-)

I would hope that exercise will be my new addiction, i have had so many in my past. And conquer them all. But food was my friend. But of all my addictions i think food harmed me the most.

I too have a very addictive personality. But lately feeling so poorly and having such a hard time with asthma and diabetes I have lost interest in most everything. I am hoping post op I will feel better and pick up some old interests that were addictive like decorative painting and reading.

Right now my addiction is this board and my obsession is waiting for the call that I am approved for surgery a revision from lap band to rny. .

Also hope exercise will become one.

But really hoping bad ones do not,

It is something we all need to be aware of.

Well when I try to lose weight I shift addictions. Shopping and being obsessed with the scale are major ones. I must have three or four full closets of all different sizes right now. I'll have clothes until I'm a 16 lol. So that's good I guess. I am now addicted to this board too. :-)

      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.
