Hi Becky!

Yes, Dr. R is married.  He and his wife are expecting another child soon.  (I believe they already have two).

He is a great guy!

 

Welcome and good luck! Dr. A is the best. I have had 2 surgeries with him and as soon as I have a baby and the hernia is "full grown" (it's just starting to develop now) I will be going for number 3!

Hi All,

The Holidays are here: more food, more alcohol, more shopping, more EVERYTHING!!!!

There is a new OH Online Support Group. The above link will get you there.
It's called Crossing Over to Transfer Addictions

This group discusses the issue of transfer addictions (also known as cross addictions) after weight loss surgery. there are millions of people who have undergone gastric bypass who are now dealing with issues of addiction transfer.

For a number of people, giving up overeating leads to adoption of a new compulsion. Addiction transfer occurs when someone is unable or unwilling to rely on one compulsion (for us, it was food) and so switches to a new compulsion (alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, shopping, internet, porn, etc) due to not having dealt with the underlying issue behind the compulsion.

***Please feel free (and safe) to join and discuss any and/all issues you have regarding Transfer Addiction. ***

WE WILL SUPPORT EACH OTHER WITHOUT JUDGEMENT!

Best of Luck, you will get the best of care with Dr. A's group. In my opinion he is also the best!. Let us know how yo are doing.

Welcome! Wishing you a all the best on your WLS journey.
