In this Episode:
If you have had, are considering having, or have a loved one who is considering having gastric bypass, you will want to listen to this episode. One of the leading difficulties amongst gastric bypass patients is the development of alcohol addiction post-surgery. In this episode, Shana talks about her insecurities with her weight, her decision to get the gastric sleeve, and how she quickly began substituting food addiction with alcohol, known as transfer addiction.
Transfer addiction, or replacing one addiction with another, is common among many addicts and something everyone quitting an addiction should be aware of. It’s one of the reasons Back Porch Chats is devoted to bringing you information about healing beyond addiction. Listen in as Shana talks to us about her experience and what she did to find sobriety.
