Therapists for pre-surgery phase: Fort Worth, tx and surrounding areas



Recommended Posts

I'd like to find a therapist and get back into therapy. I have bipolar disorder for one thing, and I'd like to start working on my food addiction problems now, and not wait until I decide to (if I decide to) have this surgery.

I've had a therapist, but I'm not really sure how good she is. I like her personally, but I think I'd like to try other therapists to see what their practice is like.

Any recommendations for therapists? I live down in Cleburne, but going as far as Fort Worth or Arlington isn't a super big deal. I refuse to go to Dallas! Sorry, just hate Dallas traffic. I get anxiety when I drive bad enough as it is!

Thanks for any recommendations!

Hi there, I am some one who benefitted from therapy as part of preparing for surgery. We really worked to identify and break down triggers -- it was tedious but I'm glad I did it. It's not as though I hadn't confronted food issues before but because I had made the decision to have weight loss surgery this time I was really admitting the seriousness of the problem and how willing I was to solve it. Good luck with all. Way to go choosing yourself and your healthy future!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
