Question for Forum

Hi everyone, especially those I haven't talked to yet.  I'm new here.  Still jumping through the hoops to get a date set for my surgery.  I'm getting pretty close now. 

My question is - do you know of a good therapist in the Twin Cities area (we are in NE Minneapolis, but would drive for a good one)?  If you prefer, answer me in a private message. We would like to find someone who understands the issues of WLS.

Thanks for your help.

Best bet is to contact your surgeon's office and see if they have a referral for you.

Also, I did have luck with calling my insurance company directly and asking for a weight loss surgery specific counselor. I was amazed, but they actually had criteria for that!

There is one that works out of the Como area in St. Paul - let me find her name & I'll PM it to you.

Here is a helpful site for others who are also looking for a councelor

I sent you a PM.

  Thanks - good info.  Diamond Girl - just to let you know, I saw the psychologist at my surgeon's office and so did my husband.  He doesn't see private patients for one-to-one therapy, though.
