Psychologist



Recommended Posts

So today is the start of my visits to the Team. I am starting with the Psychologist. Not sure what to expect.

Can anyone share some light on this for me?

Never been to a shrink before.

Mine was really sweet. I had to do both a written text and had to talk to her. For me she went over my reason and my goals. She wanted details like when do I think I will be at my goal weight. What do I have to do before, during and after surgery. She also touch a little bit on my support group and what my normal life is like. She was wonderful and if my insurance did not change to one she does not take I would so be back. Good luck and the number one thing I can say about it is don't be in a hurry. Give yourself time. They have to be there all day and I know if I feel rush then I always forget something. On the test be honest. If issue come up you want them to happen now so they can be addressed.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
