What does PAT's stand for???

I have seen it used alot on this sight and since I will be probably doing it I really need to know what it means. Thanks Tina

Hey Tina Pre-Admission Testing = PAT's Debbie

Hey hope things are going well for you Debbie! Thanks for the info!

Hey Tina, hows it going? I had to ask that question before, glad to see I was not the only one going what does that mean! Colleen

Oh things are moving right along. Doing the 6 month supervised nutritionist thing and got my psyche eval done. Should be done with the red tape at the end of July!!!! Hope all is well with you too Colleen!

Hi Tina, Glad to hear you are doing well! all is well with me...Waiting for my psych aproval i have to meet with her again this week...she said she would write it and now wants to meet again so i am a bit nervous but all should be okay I think...I do not thaink I am that crazy !!! If all oges well, i am hoping around the beginning of june...but we shall see Colleen

Gotta love those psych eval's. Did you have to do the MMPI pshyc test yet? its the 572 T/F questions test. If your Psych doesn't offer it, ask for a copy of the evaluation. Interesting how these people evaluate us. Hope all goes well with your surgery and your journey. Have a great night Kym

Hey Kym Yes I did have one of those 572 questions. It's rather interesting because now it has been recommended that I have therapy before and after surgery. The fun just never ends. Tina

Oh Tina, Im sorry. Seems like yet another set back in your journey. Try to keep a positive attitude though. Maybe the Dr. found something during the consult and sync'd it up with the eval and just wants to make sure that you are totally aware and commited to the life changes that will occur. Just a stab in the dark here. Mine cleared me for surgery but highly recommended me to pursue post surgical consuling. We'll just have to see about that later not right now. Hope all goes well for ya. Keep us posted on your progress. Kym

Hi Tina, I also had therapy before and after surgery and it was/is worth it!!! Judi
