I had my first appointment with my surgeon last week on 1/6/10. It was really simple and I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. I pretty much just sat and chatted with my surgeon for a little while and they got my height and weight. Then their coordinator came in and explained what my insurance company requires and what I need to do next. Now a few days later my nerves are setting in. I have set my appointment for my PCP and the nutritionist and then the psych consult. The psych consult makes me supper nervous. I have had issues with depression in the past and last year had an incident where I was hospitalized over night. I am doing much better now but I always wonder what other people will think. When I was in the hospital I was evaluated and they let me go home and said I didn't need to see a psychiatrist or therapist. I know that the psych consult is not to keep me from having surgery but to make sure that I am prepared for it. My doctor said the main thing that they will be checking on is my support system and how I plan on dealing with everything, and a year ago I was having issues dealing with my infertility. Since then though my marriage and my relationship with my family has greatly changed I am more open about my feelings and my husband has been better about talking with me and making sure I get my feelings out. I am saying A LOT of prayers and I know that God will make sure that whatever is best for me will happen. :thumbup:
