Has anyone gotten counseling Pre-op ?

As I wait for my initial consultation (4 months away) I thought it would be a good idea to go into counseling to help me with my psychological fondness towards food and eating. I want this surgery to be successful, but realize that the sugeon will only make physical changes, leaving me with all my my old psychological feelings. How does someone literally go from feeling one way pre-op, and then post-op eating like you should, never turning to food for comfort again etc. I can't find a Counselor that specializes in Food Disorders or anything under my insurance co. I tried a regular counselor, and she really didn't know how to help me. Am I the only one wondering about these issues, and is there anyone in the Denver area that knows of a good counselor that can help? I have BC/BS PPO. Thank You!
