Have you given ant thought to a WLS support group in your area if there is one. I have been before surgery and after and with their help now under stand why I am addicted to food and how to Handel that addiction. This is a great Fourm but sometimes being face to face with people that have gone though the same thing helps a lot more. And you get to see the results right before your eyes. They are not for everyone but if it help you get though this hard as hell Journy it's worth it And the other thing that helps is looking at my boy and known I'm going to be around a lot longer for him Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

The worst part of WLS the 227 bottles of wine we have in our wine cellar. Before you think I'm a drunk we bought the house with the wine cellar already in it. And my wife's cousin works for a liqueur distrubitur. And is always giving us wine to try. I like the hard stuff like Knob Creek single malt my wife likes Red Cat wine Tempted to try but I was born a chicken Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12
