Just started counseling

Just had my first counseling session earlier today. When I did the psych review with Dr Messer at Scottsdale Bariatric a few weeks ago we decided I'd better settle some issues first. I need to make sure that my head catches up with my body once I start dropping the pounds. I'm excited and scared. On the one hand, I know that counseling will help me but I'm also afraid that I may not qualify for the surgery. I'm feeling impatient and anxious and need to pray. Does anyone understand what I mean?

Ursula, My sister was going to name her daughter Ursula she said it meant little brown bear. Anyhow, Feeling impatient and anxious (as i am comming to find out ) is completely normal. So is being excited and scared. There are so many emotions that we go through while waiting for this surgery. It's amazing that we get through it without a complete nervous breakdown. I encourage you to pray about it. Pray that The Lord would settle your spirit so you would calm down and be relaxed and confident about what your doing. Pray that this is his will in your life, and that He would be with you and guide you on your journey to a new healthy you. I have said a prayer for you. Try to hang in there, this is the hard part from what I understand. Best wishes Ursula, God bless you, Annette
