Don't get ahead of yourself.  You have to have a one on one with the NUT and depending if she's satisfied she might clear you but sometimes you need more than one appointment with her and that's the same for the psych as well.  You will also meet the doctor more than once.

Welcome! 

I have my nutrition class on the same day as you in Windsor!!

I was fortunate enough to be cleared by the doctor on my first visit with her and she said said I did not need a follow up with her. I also did not require psych - which is probably based on everyone's cir****tances. 

The doctor basically told me to make the social worker and dietician happy and I would be on my way. I am on week 3 of some serious lifestyle changes, it's been difficult but worth it!

I am also new to this site.  Wow -- I can't thank everyone enough for these posts.  It is comforting to really know we aren't alone with our feelings and questions.
