Does Anyone Have Ocd?



Recommended Posts

Curious as to how that came into play with the psych evaluation? I have always wanted to see a psychiatrist for awhile, but didn't have insurance. Now that I have the time, I figure why not. So I would love to talk about my issues with my therapist but I'm debating on if I should wait until AFTER surgery. Lol. I intend on telling the psych what they ask, and being truthful etc., I just don't want to be denied surgery for over sharing if you know what I mean? Long story short, in regards to the surgery nothing I want to chat about has anything to do with surgery or anything I can see as a possible issue.

I wish I could offer advice on this. I was evaluated today & that was a question that was asked.

I'm not "clinical" OCD but I do have some tendancies. I clean A LOT and get a little quirky sometimes with details most people don't notice. All things of which my psychologist is fully aware. But I do have Anxiety and Panic Disorder, which means I tend to freak out easily over small things and I don't do well in social situations or large crowded places with a lot of noise. I was honest, talked to my psych over many months about this surgery and she made sure I was fully prepared. Even with a history of depression, she never threw up any flags. She knew me well enough to know that my weight was a large part of my depression, and believed that this surgery would only help my situation.

Be honest, don't overthink it, and keep a positive attitude! Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
