hi can someone give me advice.. i had my psych eval.done about a month ago.she said she didnt see any reason y im should not have the surgery.. i received a call from her the other day saying that in her report she recommended that i keep seeing nutritionist and go to meetings until im stable w my depression and anxiety... number one told her that i changed my eating habits... that if i do get dwn in the dumps i choose something else besides eating...... i think what i told het she turned it around.. i am on med. for anxiety very low dose though.. i am really upset..she told me that sometimes the medical team will drop you because of this but shes recommending they dont... i also see another therapist besides her for my anxiety.....please help:(:angry

thank you for the advice...i have been going through the process about 6 months now.. i have a reg.therapist she told me she was going to talk to the psychiatrist because since i have seen the shrink i have made progress so my therapist is going to talk to her and tell her what progress i have made and that she thinks i amm ready for surgery....

i w dont know what state you live in but i live in mass.i am also new..it is along haul.. sfirst you have to see a nutritionist make sure u do what they tell u to do...you have to have a pysch evaluation,gallbladder ultrasound and you have to go to support group meetings after your first appt. with the nutritionist you have to go them again and they want you to start dieting right away..also you can not eat and drink at the same time anymore..that is wha i ahve been through so far
