Hello. Tomorrow is my psych visit. I'm not sure how I feel. I'm excited because it will be another appointment I can mark off my list but also nervous of the unknown. I've already seen the cardiologist and I don't have to do a stress test! I did have to do an echo and will get the results this upcoming Monday 8/28. I'm being positive that he will clear me. I don't have my pulmonologist visit until late Sept. I'm on the 3 month multi supervision plan with Aetna but with my pulmonologist appt being so late is making it more like 4 months. But I'm just educating myself in this time. I'm excited! I need this for my health and to be more active with my kids. Thx for this forum...I just needed to get this out.

I was nervous about my psych visit, too (I'm just about 2 years post-op). It actually turned out to be nothing to worry about. I took a long written psych evaluation test (multiple choice) and then had a conversation with the psychiatrist. The primary purpose seemed to be to get a handle on how willing you are to follow the recommendations for the surgery. The fact that you are working through your 3 month supervision plan and seeking out answers to things that you are nervous about suggests that you are doing all of the right things. No need to stress about tomorrow. Good luck!

Thank you. I know I needed to hear that!
