Is there anyone out there who would care to advise me if they used psychological counseling before/after being banded to get used to the idea? It was so traumatizing for me that i have not been successful with my band. i had the most fluid removed possible and and not doing the plan now, but am considering getting a small fill to try and get started again. i simply have to lose this weight! And i'm really terrified about doing this. Also what type of counselor did you use? I went to a psychologist once before but she had never heard of the band and was just no help. I was banded about 4 years ago and just have done practically nothing since. The hardest thing for me is to eat slowly, much slower than ever, to keep from throwing up. Hope someone out there can identify and also help! Thanks a million! i am new to this forum so feel free to email me at pepfm@yahoo.com
