Charlotte area WLS-ers: recommend a shrink for my pre-op eval?

Hi everyone! I just got my date (December 8) and I'll need a psych eval. My psychiatrist who I see is totally against WLS ::eyeroll:: so I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend someone. Thanks!

My surgeon gave me a list and following is the doc i saw right near South Park.  She got me in within a week or so.

Good luck!

 I used Lisa Lorence as well -- and she is WONDERFUL!  I had never been to a psychologist before, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.    Laura

Can you see the person just once? Like, just call to get an eval, or do you have to see them regularly?

I went to the PSYCH group my surgeon's office reccomended.   It was pretty cut and dry.  No follow ups, just answered the questions, did a computer based analysis and went on my merry way.  The last thing you want is someone whose ANTI surgery doing your evaluation.
