And it's precisely why I wouldn't consider bariatric surgery until at least having some kind of intensive psychological intervention. No point swapping one problem for another, in my eyes.
If you can sort out the psychological stuff, you could find surgery is not necessary. I am hoping that is what I have done, but I am a work in progress, like yourself, @Loobles .
However, this is not helping the OP. Once again, I risk giving an opinion. I believe @Janice2209 needs to urgently lose some of the weight quickly. Have the psych consultation, then make a decision. If at all possible, the consultant offering the bariatric surgery team should offer support of those patients who feel able, who have had the surgery some time ago.
Unfortunately, again just my opinion, surgeons seem to take a mechanistic view of patients, rather than an holistic view. So it is unlikely that the emotional and psychological needs of their patients will be given any consideration.
