Scared to see new therapist

I'm sorry for all the posts in the last 24 hours. I talk a lot when I'm anxious/nervous and without anyone to talk to face to face...I guess I'm outletting here.

So, I'm seeing a new therapist (at least I hope i haven't seen this therapist before) at an agency that I quit going to a couple of years ago because I needed to see someone more than once a month and I was tired of leaving the place feeling like I was 2"tall and like poop. But I have no choice now. I have to get help or I'm not going to be able to get my surgery in April. And my stupid insurance doesn't cover anywhere else. I don't think I can succeed without the help of a therapist....too many issues.

I'm scared that this is going to end up the same way as the first time. They've already told me the wait list to see the psychiatrist for medicine adjustments is a year. I tried making a medicine adjustments appointment with my pcp and can't get in there for a month unless I'm actually sick. Even then it would take two to three days for that as well. I've already been waiting for an hour. And I couldn't find my water bottle before I left the house this morning so I don't have my Water. Grrr.

I know this is just my anxiety rearing its ugly head, but I am kind of freaking out right now.

Good luck to you. Try to keep an open mind. I know it will be difficult but you are doing the right thing. Is there a support group at your surgeon's office or at the hospital? That may help as well.

Again, good luck to you.

@@Redmaxx Thank you. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be, but things rarely are, right? The counselor is nice and she is slated to have the rny at the end of summer herself! Now that's what I call luck. Lol! She's even going through the same Dr I am. I couldn't believe it.

As for the support group... yes, there is one,but it only meets once a month. I went for the first time a week ago today.

I am so happy that it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be. Please try to stay positive. You should be very proud that you knew that you needed to take this step for success in your upcoming surgery. I wish you all the luck in the world. I am here if you need someone to vent to or just to listen.

Thank you. As scared as I was last week, I really wish my next appointment was today instead of three days from now because I feel like giving up and I've barely started. What do you do when you feel like giving up?

I try to keep a positive attitude. I know it is hard. Try to find someone whom you can talk to.

I'm trying. It's so hard right now. I . me until the 16th. I just wanted to cry. February is such a hard month for me in the first place because it's the month mymen's husband and I got together 21 years ago. It's been a nightmare month ever since he passed away. February and April. February because of the beginning and April because of the end. Maybe it's time to cry on my friend's shoulder? Thank you for the advice@redmaxx

That was supposed to say my first therapy session that was supposed to happen Thursday has been postponed to the 16th because the therapist had several errors.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
