So I went to go see the shrink yesterday. So not what i expected. I thought i was going to have the big lost of questions to answer as so many of you have. He literally asked me like 20 questions. Most of them were about my family history and he described some symptoms of depression and anxiety. He said i do exhibit anxiety sypmtoms (im not surprised since my mother suffers from this) but i am ok for the surgery. He didnt even ask me that many questions about the surgery which i was surprised at. So after about 40mins he sent me on my merry way and said he would fax the report... To tell the truth the shrink looked like he needed a shrink himself lol. ]

At least its one more checkmark on my lists of testing! next up is weigh in #3 of 6 with my PCP on saturday!

good luck! I have weigh in # 3 of 3 on Monday.....hopefully the last think to check off my list of appointments

My Psych Doc was cool Beans, I was nervous as all stuff when i went in to see him, but we got to talking about Bowling, apperently we are both avid bowlers. and while he threw a few questions in the mix about my family and my thought process about the suregery, we had a good time. Of the 45 mintues i spent with him we talked about bowling 30 minutes.

I am way ahead of schedule as i have only completed the seminar, and the psych eval, still have to meet the doc to find out what else is needed that appointment comes 7/3!

I had mine Monday. We talked a bit about my family support system and history. Why I wanted the surgery and what the risks are. About my eating habits and then I had to take a personality quiz on the computer which was 340 questions and I swear about 200 of them stated about alcohol,suicide and drugs in sneaky ways...you would think after the first few times I said I do not drink,I do not do nor have i ever done drugs and I do not feel like committing suicide they would get it lol
