any ecstacy users

I was wondering about using ecstacy after wls. Has anyone tried it and if so what was the outcome. I hope im not offending anyone. Please give honest respectful answers.

Not offended. I am sorry tho I cannot help. I have been clean since 2 months post op and never had this as a drug of choice. In general what I know about it is that it has some dangerous possibilities. WLS is an attempt to be healthy and using is not healthy. I am not trying to sound critical. God knows I have my own deamons. If you have read older posts you will see I struggle like any other addict. It really does not matter what you use if you are abusing you suffer. I am glad you posted and hope you will come back. I have been so blessed in recovery. I come here to share with others who have the disease of addiction or think they might regardless of what they use or used. Respectfully, Laurie

Thank you for the reply. I havent used this before I was just thinking about it. I wanted to try it before surgery but never did. I don't know why it's on my mind now. I just wanted to hear from someone who has done it post op and the effect it had on them.

My pleasure. I just read your profile. You are doing so good congratulations. Be careful out there. It doesn't say how old you are but you look young! I am almost 50. Been around a long time. Liked to party like everyone else. Today I am in a 12 step program. It took me until I was 48 to get there. I am around young people all the time who started out having fun and ended up in real trouble. Not meant to sound like a lecture. Honest! Just concern. Laurie

Nope not offended...thats why we're here (((((I hope))))) but never been there...my wkness NOW is alcohol. I hope you get no flack!!

Hi to another Lori! Alcohol is the thing that will get me started on my road to full blown active addiction. It is too easy. I could drink for a while I am sure but before I know it I will find my pain intolerable and be back on pain meds, ignoring my diet and shopping like a fool. I am afraid to drink. I do not want to give up what I have gained but somedays it is really hard. Hugs, Laurie

Welcome! And no criticism here . . . my weakness, too, is alcohol. I've never tried ecstacy, but from what I've heard on the news, it can be dangerous. If you've already got an alcohol problem, I think you need to honestly ask yourself if you want to dig yourself in deeper with a new crutch. Be careful and good luck! Linda

Oh no I not addicted to anything I just thought this was the only place I could come to get an answer to my question.
