I swear I am not on a pity trip, I am just curious to know if I'm alone...

Maybe it's just because I am having a crummy time lately, but I have always had these issues- Since surgery I have become addicted to prescription pain pills (and sometimes sleeping pills). I know we have addictive personalities, but since being unable to comfort myself with food any longer (I dump like nobodys business) I find these are the only things that make me happy. I had open rny 6-21-01.. I have gone from 250 to 127 (5ft 4in) and yet I still feel horrible about myself.. I'm not firm & I have too much skin in my arms, stomach, and thighs.. what used to be a double chin is now this waddling piece of skin, and my boobs are a joke...like deflated candy corn. It's gross! I can't afford plastic surgery and I have no insurance- I'm told if I did my problems aren't severe enough for them to pay. I am so miserable I can't stand it. Has anyone felt like this or known someone in a similar situation? I'm desperate for opinions or suggestions on how to cope! Thanks, Stephanie
