    I talked to my academic adviser yesterday and was informed that as part of my psychology degree plan that I need to come up with and conduct an independent research project.  I want it to be something weight loss surgery related.  I am considering something in regards to transfer addictions.  Any other suggestions?

     That is a super topic.  There is some current information out there regarding gastric bypass and alcoholism.

    Google - JAMA -

    Prevalence of Alcohol Use Disorders Before and After Bariatric Surgery

    Wendy C. King, PhD; Jia-Yuh Chen, MS; James E. Mitchell, MD; Melissa A. Kalarchian, PhD; Kristine J. JAMA. 2012;307(23):2516-2525. doi:10.1001/jama.2012.6147

    Exacerbation of PTSD sx post WLS?  I am interested in this as I see many folks who have been "protecting" themselves with weight and when it comes off histories of sexual abuse become really problematic.

    I saw a show on tv where this lady lost a lot of weight, and then became addicted to shopping and hoarding...Am sure a project on addictions would be very interesting.

    Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

    I like Louise's idea about the PTSD.

    Good luck on the project, I'm sure it will be very interesting.  This is one of my fears with past addictions.

    Thanks
