Psych Exam

Okay so I failed my psych exam and I don't know how to fix this. I have social phobia and panic disorder and while I was doing the exam with the doctor I couldn't think straight because i was having a panic attack! 

Now this wednesday im going to see my nutritionist who is closely connected to my doctor so should i tell her what happened at the appointment to see if i can get my surgery date back? 

I would try and get someone on my side... tell them you have a hard time talking to strangers...feeling too much pressure because you want this so bad. true really, right? Good Luck

You should certainly tell her what happened. She will probably already know. Explain your issues, and see how you can get back on the right track.

I really don't understand the psych eval portion of some surgeon's program's anyway. Or maybe it is the Insurance Companies. Either way, I can't think of another surgery that requires it. If you were so overweight you needed knee replacement, would they ask for a psych eval to make sure you understand the ramifications of staying overweight and ruining your knees? If you were having a heart bypass due to cholesterol and artery clogging diet, do they request a psych eval to make sure you are "ready" for the restrictions of a heart healthy diet/exercise regimen? No. bariatric surgery is treated differently. No other cure for a disease comes with a psych eval, that I know of. I would definitely tell your nutritionist about your concerns, and push for a new date. Good luck to you.
