If the counseling was universal I would feel a lot better about it. Because if people feel it's necessary because maybe they don't have a support system...who's going to support them afterwards with all the changes they are going to go through...?

Again, I totally understand the need for the surgery and that people can benefit from it...I just feel like there is a disconnect when it comes to the psychological end of it for me.
