Psychologist -TWH
on 12/27/17 4:46 am - Courtice, Canada
I'm looking forward to my psychologist appointment on January 9th. Just wondering if I need to prepare anything or what to expect.
Do they weigh you at this appointment or is that just the Nurse and Dietitian appointments?
I feel like I'm so close yet so far away!!
Keep warm everyone!!

I got weighed at every appt. there was a questionarre that was to be filled out and submitted at your first appt after orientation. They will ask questions and talk based on that
TWH: Referral May 2015 --> Orientation November 2015 --> Surgeon at TWH Nov 2016 --> Transferred to Guelph --> Surgeon Appt Dec 1 2016 --> Opti Start Dec 8 2016 --> Surgery Dec 22 2016 HW: 331 SW:302 GW: 170
I guess it depends on where you are. I have only been weighed twice....the very first time I went to the clinic to meet the nurse, and then after my one month follow up after surgery. That's it. All the best to you - exciting times ahead!!

I've only been weighed at the nurse Appointment. One of the first things the social worker said to me was that they don't expect me to lose weight before surgery so I haven't really been focused on that. But then with Christmas and a bit of overindulging I'm worried they'll think I'm not a candidate. Just over thinking, I hope.
Looking forward to the appointment seeing as it was your favorite.
Thanks,
Karen
