my primary doctor said this ...
so i had to go back to my primary doctor cause i needed referals and he told me that most of the time the psych doctors will not approve someone with depression and anxiety and i was like "really"? and he was like "yes because they feel they wont do anything good cause they are too depressed " but you see im so damn depressed cause im fat ! and i do have horrible anxiety but what does that have to do with the lap band ? anywho i have my psych evaluation on monday lets hope all goes well when i went to my surgeon he said i was a great candidate so ill stick with his opinion
