psych evaluation!?
maggie.alvarez replied to maggie.alvarez's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Im pleased to reply that after all the stress from the sych evaluator n my dr, i was able to seek cleareence threw the pharmacist n also a kind lady from the surgical centers. I have been on depression pills, n although im not depressed" the pills have controlled my anxiety n energy, i feel a whole lot better, i still feel the same as far as content with life n where my mind is at, but i guess my anxiety was bring me down as far as not even having energy. I hope this helps someone who is goin threw what i did or in future may go threw this. -

diagnosed qith depresion
maggie.alvarez replied to maggie.alvarez's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thank u marathongirl, knowing ur situation really helps me because i thought the dr was tryna make me look crazy to stop me from gettin surgery. Kinteehee thak you very much, i think what im understanding is once its undercontrolled (not off the meds) the surgery can be continued? Well i am actually a happy person i do get anxiety at time but as far as depression i dont believe i do, he said im depressed because of how i answered a few uetions witch i had a diferent meanig in my mind while they twist my words. I felt hurrassed by the psych evaluator dr. He was forcefull on the depression. For everything he said was depressing. Example. I gained weight with my last diet, he said" ooo that must of been depressing right? " i said no it dismt work for me so im trying other ones out. He said "no!! U are depressed" lol. Could he try any harder to hurrasse me? -
I have not done surgery yet, n reading all this sure helps. I think you woman are amazing to post this stuff, i find it very hard to see alot of this stuff as support, but this is real talk n great advice. Thank you all in advance so when i get stuck ima be like who cares atleast ima try.

U find myself day dreaming about rollerblading n jump roping like i did when i was a kid. Man i used to own those rollerblades. I did spins turns n twist like a ice skater. N how i used to jump rop, in my day all day we jumped n first one to stop was the loser. We did those criss cross, the back words, double rop, omg i wanna do that again so bad. I cant wait -

Thanks, i get all of that, ive been looking into this surgery for years i kno alot about it, i kno it works for most of everyone, n a few people got sick due to lack of vitamine intake lack of following diet n exersize, i get that part.. my question is i wanna kno someone who has had success in this surgery n before surgery has never had success even with well played out diet n exercise. BACONVILLE I BELIEVE IT WAS U WHO MENTION WEIGHT WATCHERS N SWIMING N OTHER DIETS THAT U LOST WEIGHT BUT NOT AS MUCH AS U LIKED. but u were able to lose weight on ur own 60-90 lbs is awesome to do on ur own. I have done all of what u did n more n in a good time im talkin each thing well over 3 month, n i gain weight. Im not convinced that this isnt gonna work but i wanna hear a success story that has a background like mine. I do think that my diets i wasnt fillin the tomatch with enough so i always felt hungry n probably what could of happened was my body was storing fat cuz it felt hungry. But i kno i can do this easy! If i can diet n feel hungry for yrs that i tryed diferent diets, i can do this easy cuz i wont feel hungry. If anything im worried that i piece of food can accidently pass to big. But im confident in this. N again thank you BACONVILLE -

Anyways i was in that for a long time n didnt lose weight. I never met anyone like me. Lol -
