  1. I too had a good experience with the psychologist. I believe the main goal of the psychologist is to see whether one understands the ramifications of the surgery. My psychologist went over the obstacles that I might face with family and friends. Sabotage and things of that nature. Additionally, some people are not realistic in their goals when they get this surgery. If you are an emotional eater, this surgery will not cure that. It will not make you feel better if you are a depressed person to begin with. He also said that some people, women in particular, begin to feel vulnerable when they get this surgery. They are no longer ignored and receive a lot of attention as they start to lose weight. Some of the women began to take self-defense classes. It might seem like a waste of time and money, but I think that there are some people who really need it. I didn't think I would need it, but I felt so much better after speaking with him.
