"It was a brief moment but he was very direct and to-the-point. It really looked like he was concerned and wanted to make sure every step was taken so that the surgery was a success during and after. I'm in a group therapy type of program called Ai'Pono which he sends his patients to. In Ai'Pono we address our eating habits and why we have them, what foods we need to eat, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I personally believe I would benefit from. Ultimately this is supposed to help insure the success of the surgery; especially since most of our eating disorders stem from some sort of psychological issue, anyhow. This makes it damn hard because you need to attend thie group for 8 weeks before the surgery and lose 50 or so pounds. But I can understand what he's trying to do and I can respect that."
