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??
