appointment tomm

ugh tomm i have my first psych appt...so nervous! no idea what to say or what's going to happen. i have so many things i want to say, like what i i have this surgery and i dont like myself after. or what if i have it and since its always been my major flaw in my eyes what will i find wrong with me next. will i be treated different? will i get more attention? so many things running through my head that i could go crazy but i dont want to mention any of this so i dunno im nervous....ughhhhh

All i remember from my psych meeting was alot of questions being ask. Personal background, what your family life is like, if you have been depressed before......

But all apps are different. Don't worry about anything just be honest.
Good Luck !

I had a conversation too about my past life and how I understand WLS. I was afraid because I didn't want her to think I was a looney toon and to mistakenly give her the impression that I wasn't ready for WLS. But most psycs usually approve people regardless of their past.

good to know. thank you!!

don't sweat the psych eval. The only point is to make sure you're mentally sound and that you've thought through the changes necessary for surgery and understand all the risks. The questions and concerns you're showing to me demonstrate that you are thinking about this, and thinking a lot. That should be clear to whoever you're seeing.
