Intro

My little boy died. I gained a ton of weight. I had gastric bypass, and then, instead of using food I have used alcohol. It is ruining my life and my families. I am entering detox on Wednesday. Looking for some support on this site. Thanks for having me.

Welcome, Dearone - I hope you'll stay with us. It really helps to no longer feel alone. People here understand and care like no one else can.

I'm sorry for the painful time you're going through. I'm glad you've decided to go into detox - please let us know how you're doing when you can. We care about you.

I simply cannot imagine what you've gone through! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I also had a gastric bypass several years ago. A few years ago I saw on tv (Dateline, 20/20 or one of those shows) where the surgery is linked to alcoholism. Goggle it and you will find several articles about it.
