Sorry - when I said well in your past I didn't mean to suggest your twenties were a long time ago !
LOL, Caren ... if only they weren't
I have not seen a phychiatrist either (some say maybe I should) When I saw the surgeon he asked why I thought I was in the position of needing the surgery???? He asked my history, when I started to gain weight, around 14, did anything happen to trigger this, maybe puberty or my nanan dying followed 2 years later by my dad dying the within 10yrs my brother & mum dying. At this point he stopped asking but I told him quite clearly that I did not think any of this was responsible for my problems & he seemed to be OK with this & told me he thought I was an intelligent woman :8855: & was happy to add me to his list. I know I am not an emotional eater, just greedy, so hopefully the option to eat big portions being taken away will help me lose the weight. I also know that I am not the same person I was in my twenties so would not like to think anything that happened then would be used as a yardstick to gauge my mental health now. Nor should it be for you. So, if you need to see a phychiatrist, see one, if it is a means to an end. I am sure people have overcome bigger hurdles than an eating problem that occured 25ish yrs ago to go on to have success after their WLS.
