That sounds just plain wrong! What does dyslexia have to do with WLS???
And what does your memory of things that happened long ago have to do with
WLS? Did you use a psychotherapist recommended by your surgeon? I'd get a
second opinion, if I were you!!!

I agree, my social worker consult never had anything to do with long term
memory or reading or writing problems. I am sure he is wrong, he didnt say
for sure that you would not be a good candidate, right?

Doesn't the psychotherapist realize that, as an adult, you've learned
coping mechinisms and how to deal with your problems. She/he doesn't
realize that you have great coping mechinisms so you can deal with things
and you can easily
transfer that knowledge to WLS instruction. Does your surgeon have any
other psychotherapists that you can see?

call your sergons office and ask them to recomend one. that also goes for
any other pre surgery test you will have to do. let the surgons offfice
recomend who to go to. when you use your dr.
