From: I have failed my band - SUPPORT GROUP

Well here goes. I am a recovering alcoholic 16 months sober. I had my band put in 3 1/2 years ago. At first all was well then I got to tight. I started drinking HEAVLY one of the few things that went down just fine. If I was not drinking alcohol I was eating cookies and drinking no fat mocha lattes. I lived like this for about 1 1/2 years. Now and again I would keep down some protein, but was more interested in loosing weight, which I was. I lost 70 lbs. and felt bullet proof cookies, ice-cream lattes bring it on!

 

Sept. 10, 2009 I went to rehab to detox from xanax & alcohol. I never told my weight loss Dr any of this. The throwing up continued to the point soft food was all I could eat. I finally came clean after finding out I have an ulcer, dilated pouch and dilated esophagus. I have a 4 cc band they removed most of my fluid now at 1.1 cc's still in pain.

 

 

To make a long story short YES addiction does run in families. I hope this helps someone to not take the path i did. I am now digging myself out of the pit i fell in.
