Worried about physc eval

I went to my physiological evaluation today. She said that my mental issues may get me denied I am very depressed about this. I am seeing a theropist about my issues and some are because of my weight. I am scared .This means so much to me. I have already started conditioning myself. I am chewing to liquid. I am going to all these appointments even though I rather go back to bed. I can't help I have some of these issues. Next is my MMPI hope that comes out better. I can only hope for the best.

Trudy - The Dr. that did my psych eval wanted me to see a therapist and go on meds because he thought I was depressed. Going to the second doctor was the best thing that I did - she re-evaluated me - not depressed and wrote a great letter for the insurance co. I am no post op and doing fine. I wish you the best of luck. Margaret

Trudy Get a second opinion. Depending on where you are having the surgery they will not clear you to have it until they have a positive psych eval. Dont let this woman get you down. When you go to the next appt you will know what to expect and know what to say. Don't offer them any information they don't ask for. Be straight and to the point. If you understand what you are doing is life long and can make the adjustments then they should clear you and not keep holding you up. Stay strong. Cheri

Trudy, Sorry you are going through this. I, too, may be a little concerned about my psych eval, but if I can find a good psychologist, he/she may show it to be as positive as it can. Remember, that it's only an instrument. If therapy would be required before/after surgery, then so be it. You'll be in a better place once it is all over. I've dealt with depression most of my life, usually it's worse in the winter. My last bout was trying to process through a surgery for my elbow which wasn't healing as quickly as I WANTED. It was healing just fine. I do take meds, about 6 months out of the year, then am pretty good. While I'm not where you are yet, I understand the whole concept of WLS to be a process, and for some of us, may take longer than others. Chris
