As of April 14 I will be 2 years post op. I traveled to Mexico alone and had my sleeve done at the obesity control center in Tiujuana.
Dr Ortiz and his staff were wonderful, the facility was impecable, no complaints. All went well the first year hit the gym ate healthy and reached my goal weigt in no time. Prior to surgery I was an occasional drinker but on those occasions went at it hard. A year post surgery I was having a glass of wine a night then 2. Two years out a large bottle a day sometimes more. I have even gained half the weight back whats worst is that I also struggle with food. Most times I have no desire to eat at all and when I do its never more than a cup full. I also have no motivation to get to the gym, I am usually hung over from the alcohol the night before. I saw a therapist for 4 months and had a wonderful experience with it, it helped me with every aspect of my life accept this one. I have always been a strong willed and strong minded person but I am losing control of this situation. I am now desperate and very disappointed with myself. Has any one else experienced anything like this? By the way one of my coworkers had gastric by pass surgery almost 3 years ago, she is struggling from alcohol and prescription drug abuse ( sleeping pills) as she now has severe eating and sleeping issues.
