DONT WANT TO SAY THE WRONG THING AT MY PHYCHE EVAL?ANY ADVICE?

NOT SURE ABOUT THE PYCHE EVAL....DONT WANT TO SAY THE *WRONG* THING.....AT LITTLE NERVOUS....ANY IDEAS? JULIE

Be yourself and say what is in your heart and what you feel. We have to deal with our feelings. I know that I didn't get to be morbidly obese because I did deal with my feelings. It's because I didn't deal with them.

The one thing that helped me was to be knowledgable about as much of WLS as I could and what my lifestyle would be like PO. Making sure that I did not come across as a know it all and got across the point that I did not have all the answers for why I was obese and that I was willing to learn to live a new lifestyle PO. It is normal to be nervous, just keep that in mind and as the other poster said be yourself, sometimes if you acknowledge the fact that you are nervous to the doctor he or she will try to soothe you by telling you that there is nothing to be nervous about and that they are just there to make sure that you are prepared for what lies ahead with your surgery and PO life.

The only thing that I can suggest as I suggest to anyone who asks, Don't answer questions that aren't asked of you. You can get yourself caught up if you start to go on and on. Good Luck Melissa Lap Rny 8/31/04
