any advice on the Psych consult??
Hi Patsy,
Just be Honest--that's the best advice anyone can give or get!
I had a psych evaluation and it lasted two hours--after which the psychologist advised me that I needed to address several issues --and that I would have to see a psychologist at least twelve times before I would be cleared for surgery
--Well ,at first I was VERY upset!
BUT now, I feel that his requirement was the VERY BEST THING THAT HE COULD HAVE DONE FOR ME!8-l
I have been able to deal with the issue of surgery, life issues , food issues EVERYTHING!
Don't worry --if you have a realistic view of your reasons for having the WLS you will do fine--and in any case --they DO know what they are doing. You will be happy with any decission they make in the end!
