Am I at a greater risk of failing with WLS because of emotional eating?

Hi all - another question. I had to go to a psych eval today - it is a requirement of the program. Anyway I see the doctor (1st time ever) and we discuss the usual. Then he says that he is a bit concered, and that I am at a higher rate to fail, because I have emotional eating issues. (I know I have these issues - but then my question is, don't most people who are 100, 200 pounds overweight have something emtional going on? His statement really scared me. If I can not control my emtions for my "diets" how will I control them for WLS? I know that at first, my small pouch will do it for me - but what about 1 year, 2 years or 5 years down the road? What have you guys experienced? How do you change this long term, when we could never do it for a diet? Thanks for your input - it is always appreciated.
