Consult tomorrow - I'm nervous!

Any last minute Do's and Don'ts from those who've 'been there, done that'? Are there things I should NOT say, or things I just HAVE to mention? I'm taking the labs I just had drawn, but I'm almost worried to show them to her... I'm pretty anemic right now, and I have a feeling that's going to be an issue as far as setting a date. Sadly - it's nothing I can fix by myself right now either!! My Iron, folate and B12 are great! So we'll see what she says! I'm seeing the Dietician and Psychologist too - any words of wisdom anyone?? I've never been so nervous, just trying to figure out the best way to say things, and what things Not to say at all!!

Hello!! I think you need to sit back and take a deep breath for yourself!! You should go in and just be yourself, just like at any other doctors appointment...you can't say or do anything wrong. You had an awesome list of questions started, so just take that with you. Being nervous is all part of the game...you are starting the journey that will forever change you...but, I can honestly say that once the surgery is over, you will be like "that was it...I got so worked up for that"!!!! Let us all know how your consult goes...we're all here cheering you on!!!! GOOD LUCK.

Thanks Jessica, I feel like I'm being a whiny worry wart! It's just that this is SO important to me now, AND... it will change my entire life.. I don't want to screw it up! But you're right.. I think the one thing I'm most worried about is that they will see me as a failure (because of my past dieting history) and deem me incapable of anything but failure!! I know I can do it though... so I'm holding on to that. And everyone's kind words! I'll update tomorrow after my appt.s and let you guys know how it went!

I guess you are there right now, so I'm sending positve thoughts your way. When I went for my psych eval, I was in a hurry, and rushed out of the house with my dress on inside out! I didn't notice until I was in her office! I still passed. Hope it all goes great. I go back to work on Monday so call if you want (X1238) Aloha, Joan
