Picking a post-wls shrink?

Has anyone here talked to a shrink after losing a lot of weight? I need to work out some body image issues, but have absolutely no idea how to pick a therapist.

Are there ones out there that focus on bariatric issues? Is there a list perhaps? How do you choose?

    I do not have an answer to your question but this is funny. I was banded in August, 2006 and my band slipped this past May and I needed revision. How are you doing now? I am struggling after loosing over 100 pounds and also have body image issues. I had plastic surgery on my tummy and still feel fat. Be well.

    Hi Manatee - I'm recently banded and have been thinking about looking for a shrink to help me make the best of this tool.

    Psychology Today has a site that allows you to search for someone in your area by specialty: Psychology Today: Find a Therapist

    Thanks for the reminder - I'm going to take a look myself.

    Good luck!
