Are there any sleevers in recovery from drug addiction/alcoholism? I ma set to be sleeved on July 24. I am a recovery and would like have somebody to discuss cross addictions and the additional problems posed w being sleeved for somebody in recovery, such as no longer having food to help me manage my emotions. Thanks!

I had my sleeve done a week ago, 7/7/14. I have been sober for 3 years, I used alcohol as well as food to numb my feelings and emotions. I am hoping this surgery will help with my food addictions and that I can still stay sober as well.

I was sleeved on 8/6/13 and have been sober 26 years. I'd love to chat about this.

Poking around on this website I saw a forum specific to recovery. It's in the "general" section and then there are some specialty threads.

It's right here under gastric sleeve support groups.
