I am going tonight after work to a professional for assessment. She specializes in problems after WLS. I have never been in therapy (nor needed it til now) and do not know what I should share with her...besides the truth of course. But was wondering about some insight. My issues mostly are replacing alcohol where I used to use food for coping with stress. And like I used to binge with food, am now with beer! Just looking for some advice or your personal story with seeking help AFTER wls. Thanks. Lori

Hi Lori, How did it go? I did not read this until after you went? I have been in therapy for a very long time and have learned that it is a process of learning to trust. But, be honest about your drinking and drug use. I will write more later. Hugs, Trish
