Garry Libster Psychologist Ph.D.
This man is very biased. In the first session with me, he told me he did not approve of this surgery and thought I should know that up front. I feel he should not have scheduled an appointment, if his opinion of my surgery was biased in any way.
I knew from my first visit that he would not pass any test I took. He made that quite clear from the beginning. He has offered to let me take the test again, or put me with an associate of his in his office.
I have reported this to both of my insurance companies and to my surgeon.
As we all know, everyone who has never had a weight problem, thinks the answer is easy: "eat less, do more". He told me he was not a raving fan of WLS and wanted to know why nothing else worked and why I thought this was the right thing for me. I have been researching this for 1 1/2 years now and that this is not something I would go into light heartedly. I understand that I am morbidly obese, I understand that I will have to change my lifestyle. What I did not appreciate was being talked to like I am unable to do anything to help myself. He did have some very interesting insights on the eating habits of Americans overall though. He was okay.
