Did everyone else get papers to sign to release all their medical records in the big questionnaire and packet from the psychiatrist? Just wondering if that’s the norm.

I didn't have any of that, no questionnaire at all.

I just had a single half hour face to face chat. (It was really one of the easier visits, so far, for me.)

Sounds like they are more through where you are, which isn't all bad. Hang in there!

Yea... I’m thinking this seems a bit much? Especially releasing my entire hospital medical history. I think I’m going to find someone else! I mean... I’m not perfect, but I feel like right off the bat, this guy seems to want to really try to dig hard in finding something lol

I had a questionnaire and I’m sure she had access to my medical records. However, it was just a 50 minute 1:1 therapy session and then she said I need a letter from my psychiatrist to say he treats me and will continue to treat me. That was kind of ridiculous since insurance sees that I take my meds and see him monthly 🙄

I haven't had mine yet but I spoke with the psychologist that I will have my appointment with and it's an hour long with 3 questionnaires, one of them consisting of 175 true/false questions.

I actually made an apt with a difference psychologist for next week as well and she explained it will be something similar to that as well. Just a few forms and a face to face which seems better to me.

I didn't have any questionnaires or anything like that to fill out or papers to sign.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
