did you feel you couldn't be honest and open with that person? I blabbed on about diets, mind set, etc...thought I was saying too much, but in the end, that's what they want...your head to just spill out what it's thinking about the surgery/choices you have to make... many of us try to give the "canned" responses of what we think they want to hear... good luck, hope it works out for you.

I thought I was pretty honest with him and got my point across. I was telling him that Weight Watchers was a good diet, and I planned to get back on it after the surgery, but that I was "running out of points and borrowing from the next day" because I was still so hungry. I actually thought this was a statement that was favorable for surgery, because if true hunger is the thing holding you back, the surgery cuts that (ghrelin) out. However, he didn't view it so favorably. I doubt he's going to rescind how he feels, but I need to at least have a word with this LCSW because he's my marriage counselor and things would be awkward if I didn't get the reasons he wrote the letter this way out in the open. And honestly, I wish he would have never written me the letter if he was going to write it like this; it's kind of like giving someone a neutral to bad letter of recommendation for a job (whats the point? They can't use it to any meaningful end)
