I have some great news

I spoke with my surgeon on Thursday he told me who speak with I have to call him on Monday to set up and apt. I did see this therpsit before when I need eval okay for the banding. I'm on Lexpro right now for my depression I have been on it for the past 4 days now and I have noticed differance already. I don't know what it is but my face is starting to break out! I'm wondering if it could be related from my banding or what I never had break out problems before Idk what is causing this I even went out and bought naxzema to help this issues.

I do have some great news I'm 8 LBS away from beging at my one goal I set goal mile stone goal to get down to 200 LBS after the new year I'm 8 LBS away from that and 98 LBS away from my main goal weight so things are going great for me.

Also I have other great news I'm now owner of 2001 ford touris ses 4 door thanks to my nana she bought it for me she has been for the past 7yrs trying to help me get car but it never seemed to work out no matter how we tryed, we didn't buy it from car place my neighbour sold it to us at great price now I must pay my nana back the money each month so that is not bad at all. I have  great nana.

Things are going great for me I'm happy about that I'm even starting to go to bed at an earlyer time and wake up I think the depression pills are working but I still will talk with someone.

Nick,

I've been taking Lexapro for about six years now.  Its a godsend.  Don't have any advice of the breakouts.  Take care.

I have a question about the eval (mental) if someone has like issues (depression, anxiety, hallucinations) and they are on medicine for that specific issue they still can be approved for the surgery correct? I do not think it would be fair for someone like me who is 390 to be declined but I am on medicine for all symptoms I have for longer then two months.

I have been on medication for the past 5 yrs and I was ok'd to have surgery. You have to realize that every psychologist is different. One may see that you need more therapy before surgery, or you could have one like mine that said he would approve me as long as I continued with the care I am currently receiving. You may have to take a test when you go for your eval. If I'm not mistaken its called the MMPI and it is around 165 questions. You have to be completely honest because the test has a way of showing if you are faking good so that you can be approved. Good Luck when you do go for your eval.

NO I don't think they can deniy you because of that the eval was just for them to see tht I'm NOT  doing this getting WLS because I want quick fix and they want to know that I know the risks going into this and I know that I WILL have to make life style change.

I think that is why a lot of docs that do the evals are using the MMPI..To make sure that you are not looking for a quick fix. I was so afraid before I went in and did my eval, and then I reminded myself that I was doing this all so that I could find the healthy me that has been hiding somewhere in the unhealthy body for so long, and as long as I was TOTALLY honest that things would turn out exactly as they were suppose to.
