Just starting out

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site. I'm just starting the process. I have gotten a thumbs up from all my doctors and my dietician, but I haven't met with the surgeon yet. However, I have my psych evaluation on Monday the 26th. I'm really worried that I'll be paying $200 out of pocket to see this woman and she'll say no. Everyone else feels that I'm in this for the right reasons and I KNOW I am, but this lady can make or break me from just one session. Any advice? :crying:

I have felt the same way as you and then I figured this, they know when a person is doing this for all the right reasons and I know that I am! If you are confident with your decision and you have done your research, you are going to be fine! Relax!! Let me know how it goes for you and what they ask, I am curious!! good luck!! Chris

Hi there and welcome. I had myself completely worked up about the psych eval and it turned out to be a breeze. Like Chris said, just be honest with them and everything will be fine. They just need to know you are in this to get healthy and that you are mentally and physically ready to commit to what you need to do to achieve weight loss with the band.
