I believe my battle with weight stems from a deeper addiction. I am a recovering drug addict. I have been clean sense September 23, 2004. Alot of my family didn't know about the drugs for a long time because they assumed people on drugs are thin. Well I have over came this addiction only to still suffer with something deeper, food.
Food is on every corner, In every part of your life. It is easily obtained and people don't question you if your going to the grocery store or out to lunch. I try to explain to someone what its like to be an addict, this is my description: Hold your breath for as long as you can, now hold it some more, hold it until every inch of your body is screaming for that breath of air, now you know what its like to be an addict.
I believe the drugs have done drastic damage to my body and my ability to lose weight and process food normally. I hope that with having this surgery I can over come this last issue with myself and my body.
