Therapists for pre-surgery phase: Fort Worth, tx and surrounding areas



Recommended Posts

I'd like to find a therapist and get back into therapy. I have bipolar disorder for one thing, and I'd like to start working on my food addiction problems now, and not wait until I decide to (if I decide to) have this surgery.

I've had a therapist, but I'm not really sure how good she is. I like her personally, but I think I'd like to try other therapists to see what their practice is like.

Any recommendations for therapists? I live down in Cleburne, but going as far as Fort Worth or Arlington isn't a super big deal. I refuse to go to Dallas! Sorry, just hate Dallas traffic. I get anxiety when I drive bad enough as it is!

Thanks for any recommendations!

Hi there, I am some one who benefitted from therapy as part of preparing for surgery. We really worked to identify and break down triggers -- it was tedious but I'm glad I did it. It's not as though I hadn't confronted food issues before but because I had made the decision to have weight loss surgery this time I was really admitting the seriousness of the problem and how willing I was to solve it. Good luck with all. Way to go choosing yourself and your healthy future!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
