i need positive thoughts

I had my psych evaluation today and I think I hurt my chances of getting approved for the surgery because he asked me if I was a worrier and I said yes.  I also don't have the best eating habits (hence the reason I am seeking wls).  I told him my NUT appointment is Friday and I would be getting myself on a better schedule with the help of the nutritionist.  Well, at the end of the appointment he said he had concerns with my anxiety and with my eating habits.  Should I have lied to him and told him I am always carefree and I eat 3 aquares a day?  I walked out of the office questioning myself and everything we talked about.  I left more insecure than when I walked in.  I hope I didn't ruin my chances.  I need this surgery so bad.  I know I can change my ways with the help.  Anyway, I hope yall have some happy thoughts and words of comfort for me.  Thanks for reading.  Maria

Maria,

You did just the right thing. They may want you to get some extra support to address the nutrition issues and anxiety issues. I know that I had already decided to get additional counseling so that I would be seeing someone regularly about my issues, concerns, worry re: weight loss. That ended up being part of their report/requirement and it all worked out fine.

Please let me know how things go.

Thanks  Barb.  I think I will start seeing someone on a regular basis to try to get rid of some of this anxiety.  I will let everyone know how it goes.  thanks again

Maria - Your situation with the Psychiatrist may sound familiar to some of us....your not alone. If your report comes back negative you should be able to see a different Psych, some of them have way more issues than we do. LOL! Best Wishes and keep pushing your way along!

Hey "Jersey!" LOL Don't read too much into it yet. I was sure that I was cruising through with flying colors only to hit a brick wall after fighting for 4 months. Maybe if he knows you're getting help with the issues he's concerned you have, it may all work out in your favor. I would seek counceling right away and let him know you did. Good luck, Maria. Let us know how it goes...and WELCOME!! ;o) Mare
