Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 The biggest problem I have faced since having WLS is cross- addiction. You don't hear much about this but I was warned by my surgeon's office that it can happen. Since food is no longer an option for compulsive eating, we sometimes switch to something else such as alcohol, pills, sex etc. Believe it or not, my problem is compulsive spending. Since WLS I have been on one non-stop spending binge. It is getting pretty bad with credit cards maxed out, a home equity loan etc. This is so hard to admit but I know I need help or advice. Since I never found a therapist who could help me with my compulsive eating, I don't expect there is one who can help with compulsive spending. And to say just cut up your credit cards is like saying just push away from the table when you weigh 300 pounds. So....anybody have any ideas to help me overcome this problem before my husband divorces me?? from Washington Lap RNY Sept 2001 Minus 208.5 pounds 333.5/125 http://www.wworw.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
