I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:) After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great! Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should. Now it's my turn to lose this weight! It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!

Hi All,
There is a new OH Online Support Group. The above link will get you there.
It's called Crossing Over to Transfer Addictions.
This group discusses the issue of transfer addictions (also known as cross addictions) after weight loss surgery. there are millions of people who have undergone gastric bypass who are now dealing with issues of addiction transfer.
For a number of people, giving up overeating leads to adoption of a new compulsion.
Addiction transfer occurs when someone is unable or unwilling to rely on one compulsion (for us, it was food) and so switches to a new compulsion (alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, shopping, internet, porn, etc) due to not having dealt with the underlying issue behind the compulsion.
***Please feel free (and safe) to join and discuss any and/all issues you have regarding Transfer Addiction. ***
WE WILL SUPPORT EACH OTHER WITHOUT JUDGEMENT!
I tried just about every surgeon I could find and did in fact find a few that would take me as a patient, with lots of money down. The least expensive one I could find wanted $8000. Since then I have gotten a diagnosis, my port has pulled away from the stomach wall. That is why all of the pain. I have sice scheduled surgery for this coming Wednesday! I'm going back to my original surgeon in Mexico, they are treating me well with the price too. So with all of my problems before this latest one I have decided to do a revision. So by Wednesday afternoon I will be a sleeve sister. I caqn't wait to have it done and over so that I can put this pain behind me and get on with my life.
Thanks for all of your replies!

Dr Griffin did my arm and breast lift last summer.....one year and 170lbs lost post-op. I was very happy with the results! Everyone in his office was great....even sent me a certificate for a free facial.
