I went through a spate of drinking for about 5-6 weeks because I needed some kind of Altered State. It's been hard, but I'm managing it. We need so much more research in this area. I suffer from depression, but SRI anti depressants made me gain a lot of weight and slow my progress losing post op. I know when I've had to take pain killers for legitimate reasons, I LOVED having to take them and thank God I've never been drawn to that as an illegitimate activity (raised by a COP) because I know I'd have slipped right down that slope. So sad that we hear news stories blaring constantly about the percentage of obese in our population and the cautionary tale is to avoid fast food. It is so much more complicated than that. But because of the social stigma of obesity, it doesn't get the research attention it desperately needs. We're just lazy slobs. Glad to see it get some study. Anne S <!--more--> Lap RNY 6/01 Barbara,
