🎥 The Hidden Struggle of Transfer Addiction | Amanda & Carey’s Story

In this deeply emotional episode, Amanda Wilson shares the story of her sister Carey—her best friend, her biggest cheerleader, and her soulmate in life.

Carey underwent bariatric surgery, and the results were a success—she lost weight, regained confidence, and seemed to be thriving. But what no one saw coming was the silent shift that began around year three post-surgery: the emergence of transfer addiction.

Carey began struggling with alcohol addiction, a replacement behavior that slowly took over. Despite the love around her, the addiction escalated—and by year five, Carey lost her life.

This episode is not just about grief. It’s a call for awareness—a conversation that needs to happen in recovery circles, weight-loss communities, and with anyone who believes that healing ends after surgery.

💔 You’ll hear:

How Amanda and Carey were inseparable through life and surgery

The timeline of Carey’s decline—how addiction snuck in

Amanda’s fight to understand and make sense of this loss

Why transfer addiction is real and deadly—and needs our attention

💬 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ What is Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)

⚖️ ESG vs. VSG vs. RNY: Key Differences
