Sleevers in Recovery form alcoholism/drug addicition



Recommended Posts

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
