Looking for others to share their stories & input!!!
To give some history I am a recovering alcoholic and I'm 13 months sober TODAY! I've struggled with Addiction Transfer after WLS. I'm extremely interested in helping others who are dealing with this as well. Please see below for my post. Also, please pop over and read my blogspot (listed in signature line) dedicated to this incredibly serious topic. :)
Please provide some important feedback, suggestions, concerns, etc. regarding Addiction Transfer. Please do so here in a reply or email at [email protected].
What suggestions do we have that we would like to see our surgeons, nurse practitioners, support groups, nuts etc implement in the weight loss surgery journey regarding Addiction Transfer?
What can we do to help them better prepare us as patients and them as doctor's throughout our journey to come TOGETHER and provide the best knowledge, support and care we can?
It's important that we come together as a community and really and truly give this a voice and do our best to provide one another with anything and everything we can to be as successful as possible during our journeys.
I appreciate everyone taking the time and effort to respond. This is an incredibly important topic of discussion and we will all benefit from the knowledge we will receive. So, let's be heard! I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks!!

Hi Kat,
As you know, I've responded privately to you about this. If you think it would help, I can repost my story here. I still have no helpful suggestions, except that I've figured out that no one but YOU can convince YOU to stop drinking (etc). Sometimes you have to watch loved ones get to their "rock bottom" with your hands tied. That's where I find myself at this point.
