Since I was told I was medically approved by HAP f and was referred to the psychologist, does that mean I'm approved for the surgery as long as the psych doc approves me also?

Sure sounds that way to me.  You are getting real close!

How was your experience with the psych exam? I'm kind of scared thinking about the things they are going to ask me.

You're stepping onto the dance floor now. The spych exam will go by in a snap.
You can't prep for it so stop worrying about it. You'll be fine.

Mostly they want to know if you have deep seated psych problems that contribute to your obesity. Some things that have caused problems for other people on the board are things like panic attacks, severe depression, marital problems.  If you mention those they are likely to decide that you aren't psychologically stabe for surgery and will want to treat you for months before surgery.  The other thing they are looking for is realistic expectations-that you don't think life will be all sunshine and rainbows after surgery, you just want to feel healthier and look better.
