has anyone happened to turn to alcohol instead of eating? I've read about turning one addiction into another, but can't find anybody to discuss this with.

The surgeon that I saw said that it is very common for people who have ben banded to find themselves in a place of addiction to something other than food and to be aware of and on your guard against this.

I definitely drink and I'm sure that is why I only lost 52 lbs in a year. I am trying to stick to alcohol only on the weekends but it is hard. Either way I am still losing, just slowly.
