Update

I went yesterday and lived at the Hattiesburg Clinic having my gallbladder ultrasound and my psych eval. done. The ultrasound was no biggie bar being at 7am But the psych eval. was pure hecka! First of all, Christine you were sooooooo right about that shrink. She seems very anti WLS and thinks one should just diet and do it that way. Well hell if I could do it that way I wouldn't be looking into having surgery! She tried to come up with every reason under the sun for why I am this weight except the real reason. It was almost like she was looking for patients. Asking me over and over if I was abused by my grandparents, mother, brothers, husband so on....oi !!! And here's the kicker...as she was sending me into the room to take the 4 longgggggggggg written tests *1 was one page of questions, 1 was two pages of questions, 1 was 165 questions and last one was a whooping 576 or so questions!* she asked me....and my fat arse self...who's up there having this done so I can have WLS and who's carrying a water bottle....if I wanted a coke! 3 times she asked me this....maybe silly but don't be offering the fat person a coke hello! Anyways that was my day....I have a sleep study to do then hopefully all these tests are over! Keli

Well, now it is official! You are nutz!!!! I swear by Psycho Doc since he is only as nutz as we are!!! Closer and closer you are getting! Smoochie Arlies

Now Keli, You know that you were abused & that everyone is out to get you! How did ya like being asked the same question over & over & over ? If your not crazy when you get there, you will be when you leave I'm happy that your done with that. Maybe you'll zip through any other test they need. I know that you'll sleep thru the sleep study Tammy

Well Kelli, Look at it this way the psych eval is the worst part and you now have that over with. I just hated those stupid test and that is exactly what I think they are stupid. I mean if they asked you once it seemed like they asked a thousand times and every other questions i might add if you have ever had sucidal thoughts. Hell who hasnt at one point and time in their life. I guess to a really screwed up person that test would be normal but ....... lol lol oh well I am rambling now. I am glad you are over that part it is all down here from now girlfriend. Love ya Denise

I know what you mean. The physciatrist called to tell me about my scores and said they showed I was a intelligent, gifted slightly depressed binge eater that likes to flirt. Heck I couldn't even pass Algebra. What a bunch of bull. I thought while taking this if he thinks his test or opinion matter at all about me getting the surgery then he's crazy. I have officially jumped through all hoops. My surgery date is 8-24 Regina

Whew, at least that is over . Do you have to go back at all?? If not, the rest should be pretty easy in comparison from what I gather. Good luck!! Hugs, Connie
