Many Questions

I have been researching the wls for about 6 mo. now. Yesterday I had a consultation appointment with Dr. Baggs. I really liked him. He was very open and answered all of my questions. I am 25 yrs old, 5"4' 240. Here are some other questions that I have. 1. They referred me to a psychologist. Does everyone have to do this? What are they going to ask? I want to call my insurance to see if they cover this, but afraid to warn them it is coming. I would rather they get the letter from the doctor first. 2. I am going to look into FMLA or Short Term Disability, but not sure which I can take or qualify for. 3. What do I tell people? The only people that know are my husband, mom and sister. I don't want to tell my in-laws or co-workers. I am not comfortable telling them the truth, but what can I say if they ask questions? The doctor's office said that they will be sending out the letter to my insurance within a week. I am nervous and excited at the same time. Thank you for all of your questions and answers posted on this site. It has been a tremendous help.
