  1. Really ??? Yesssss! I thought it wouldnt. Thanks for telling me
  2. Thank u jj, im glad to hear im not alone, im trying to jus be opened to what ever they wnna do cuz i want the surgery.
  3. Im pleased to reply that after all the stress from the sych evaluator n my dr, i was able to seek cleareence threw the pharmacist n also a kind lady from the surgical centers. I have been on depression pills, n although im not depressed" the pills have controlled my anxiety n energy, i feel a whole lot better, i still feel the same as far as content with life n where my mind is at, but i guess my anxiety was bring me down as far as not even having energy. I hope this helps someone who is goin threw what i did or in future may go threw this.
  4. It wasmt terrible , i did get in self defense mose lol, im not easlily manipulated n i need understanding of stuff before i agree. But i guess its jus the process to get to surgery n the important part is that i gain my health back.
  5. I underatand it may help, but i feel like they are forcing me to be depressed, i was tellin him how i feel n he said no thats not how u feel u are depressed LoL thatsnot normal for a dr to that, but i am compling with it, i jus praying that i dont come across more people like that dr, basicly i cant do amything about it if i want the surgery i have to continue to the process of compling with what yhe pscho dr says. Thank u bery much for the support
  6. I really feel like im alone n drs are jus being mean
  7. Was anyone dianogsed with depression? I answered some questions that make me took depressed when i dont feel depressed n actually i answered question with a whole different meaning that wasnt intended to be a bad thing, i dont feel depressed nore do i ack depressed, im alil stressfull over the whole situation n i need to hear some similar stories. I need alot of help to see what is wrong if im perfectly fine.
  8. Thank u marathongirl, knowing ur situation really helps me because i thought the dr was tryna make me look crazy to stop me from gettin surgery. Kinteehee thak you very much, i think what im understanding is once its undercontrolled (not off the meds) the surgery can be continued? Well i am actually a happy person i do get anxiety at time but as far as depression i dont believe i do, he said im depressed because of how i answered a few uetions witch i had a diferent meanig in my mind while they twist my words. I felt hurrassed by the psych evaluator dr. He was forcefull on the depression. For everything he said was depressing. Example. I gained weight with my last diet, he said" ooo that must of been depressing right? " i said no it dismt work for me so im trying other ones out. He said "no!! U are depressed" lol. Could he try any harder to hurrasse me?
  9. I have not done surgery yet, n reading all this sure helps. I think you woman are amazing to post this stuff, i find it very hard to see alot of this stuff as support, but this is real talk n great advice. Thank you all in advance so when i get stuck ima be like who cares atleast ima try.
  10. Yes i understand why they see it as depreses now.because i miss interped the queations, n i tryed to tell them how i feel n they said no im depressed, so i really need some support by someone who has gone threw this processes, how did u go about it n what happened. Please id really like to hear what i need to prep for this stage of processing
  11. U find myself day dreaming about rollerblading n jump roping like i did when i was a kid. Man i used to own those rollerblades. I did spins turns n twist like a ice skater. N how i used to jump rop, in my day all day we jumped n first one to stop was the loser. We did those criss cross, the back words, double rop, omg i wanna do that again so bad. I cant wait
  12. O no im not upset. Sorry i mad u feel that i am. Everyone has diferent situations, i jus never seen anyone wiyh my situation. I am happy for u that its a life change, i hope n have lot of faith i get the same. I think iy will be comforting to hear someone.story jus like mine. I can use that in more confidence. Ur achievements are amazing n are helpful as well. Thank u.
