I am wanting to hear from folks who have used counseling/therapy along with WLS

I have been in therapy/counseling at least 4 times for issues of obesity/overeating and have never really connected well with the practitioner (be it psychologist or spiritual counselor or alternative therapist) I know that I have issues with FOOD, hiding behind my weight, using food for a friend, all those things that we all know about. I know that the surgery will not 'cure' these things and am wondering if others have found that the support groups are enough or have you found helpful therapists (and how do you find the right one?) or what type of support that you have to keep the FOOD issues from holding you back from yourself. I would love to hear from some of the long term folks, Victoria, Michelle, Barb to name a few. I don't see that this subject has come up over the last 6 months that I have been reading the Q/A and message board and I think it is important to go at this thing holistically body, mind, spirit. Thanks in advance for all the responses.
