HikeEveryMountain 112 Posted April 17, 2013 I'm an LCSW - have been a therapist for 14 years. Love seeing my own therapist while on this journey - this surgery, the decision, and then the process afterwards is an intense one. I recommend it for everyone trying to reprogram their overweight brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
