has anyone happened to turn to alcohol instead of eating? I've read about turning one addiction into another, but can't find anybody to discuss this with.

May 18, 2006 surgury date

Dr. Choi, Danbury Hospital, Connecticut

65 lbs at this time of my "PLATO"

Thanks, kdf:help:

The surgeon that I saw said that it is very common for people who have ben banded to find themselves in a place of addiction to something other than food and to be aware of and on your guard against this.

I definitely drink and I'm sure that is why I only lost 52 lbs in a year. I am trying to stick to alcohol only on the weekends but it is hard. Either way I am still losing, just slowly.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
