My psych visit was an odd one, too. My psychiatrist was a dweeby neurotic sort of character who gave me a hard time about saying my mother has OCD. He said "from what you describe, your mother does NOT have OCD. She is obsessive but she is NOT compulsive." He went on to say "I hate it that people use OCD to describe every behavior you can imagine!!" . . . Sheesh! This guy was a nut! The "wait" can definitely be nerve-wracking! I did the six-month dietician visits, tests, etc and had my final appt on June 15. I was approved by my insurance company the first week in July and I thought I'd surely be scheduled for surgery in late July or August. NOPE! My surgery date is September 26! Patience is definitely a virtue!! Wishing you all the best! Stay hopeful!!

Just what I needed to hear! Your post is the first one I've read on this forum . . . just registered! In a year from now, I would like to say those exact words! ZERO regrets!! My surgery is scheduled for September 26, 2012. Thanks for sharing --Barbara
