I had my third of four therapist visits, everything was going great with the conversation until the subject of WLS was brought up. This person again started with the "your not that big for WLS". I explained to this person that I've got four MD's that say I need it, like five years ago, so there is no real issue for concern about my size but for my medical needs. Then we had to go into "how" invasive WLS is. I explained that I find my health conditions more invasive than any surgery. The therapist then said, "your in a better place emotionally to try normal diet methods". Really......

Even after all the times I haved lost weight, I have NEVER been able to keep it off. I called the doctor that handled my psych eval to complain and it was explained to me that when the therapist sends their final report that the doctor is not looking for opinions about WLS but other factors. I was then told to just ride it out and trust your doctors.

Why the hell do proffesional people think that they have so much influence that you would disreguard what your doctors say and blindly follow their advice, WTF!!!!

Not all therapists are like that. You got one for sure. He needs to do some more investigating into WLS so he's not so ignorant.

Therapists are supposed to monitor themselves against imposing their own opinions or biases on their clients. This one didn't. Not all therapists are like this. Just thank goodness that you are almost done with this particular requirement.
