Finally Approved For Psych Eval

Today was a good day. I can't believe that I finally have an answer from the insurance but this whole think is confusing. I have an appt to see the psych next Friday. I am afraid that I won't pass somehow. I tried this years ago and was diagnosed with depression at the eval. What will I be diagnosed with this time?

 

Actually, that really was a good thing for me. I have worked out a lot of things during the last few years with my social worker. I am not ashamed to have depression. It is manageable and now that I know I have it at least I can understand some of my issues better. It is refreshing to know there is a reason I want to crawl under the covers and ignore the world sometimes. I can and do take steps to redirect myself when that happens.

 

I think that the sleeve will be a good thing for my depression because I certainly cannot keep yo yoing. Never being successful with perminant wt loss. That can't be good either.

 

Today I told my mom about the surgery plan too. She was very supportive. I was so surprised! I was afraid that she would talk me out of it (or try). My sister was supportive too.

 

Can't wait to get this thing moving.

Well I did pass my eval! Yay me. On the 23 of October I will go to my group consult and I hope that I learn a lot more about my path toward VSG. I wish I didn't have to go to Detroit but at least the hospital was easy to get to and seemed nice once I did get there. Should be fine.

Today I talked a lot to my social worker about the surgery. She seems excited for me. We talked about how I was a bit worried about how this huge change will affect my relationships. I worry about my relationship with my husband. He and I worked well for so long because he made no demands of me. He didn't seem to care if I was heavy. He didn't judge or try to police my food. I appreciate all of that. Unfortunately I will not always be able to accept this kind of relationship. I want some depth. I want to be able to talk about things and have real interactions. I just don't see it happening. We are roomies that happen to have fair sex now and then. And, we have two wonderful kids.

But, that worry is for another day. Now I work on me. Getting surgery is first on the list and I hope that everything else will fall into place. I can't wait to go dancing! Win some more karaoke contests! And, most of all get my ass on a horse!
