Psych vist.

[Ariel 1]

Hey everyone

So today i had my psych vist and i'm kinda nervous about it. You see the doc asked if my family was generally heavy and i said yes so she was like so you picked up their bad eating habits. well when i talked to my mom she got a little upset because she is not big nor is my dad or my brother. But my sister, uncles, aunts, and half of my cousins are and i thought the doc was talking about my family in general , which for me includes the extended family but my mom thinks she just ment the immediate family. Well now i am worried that the shrink will write in her report family history and that the surgon & my pcp will say no family history. I think i am just being paranoid now i could use your advice what do you think she meant and do you think it really matters? Thanks everyone

I don't think it matters. Thin people can have bad eating habits too so who cares what size your parents are. If you gave honest answers then mission accomplished!

I agree. I think you're overthinking it. I think your PCP is in a better position to assess your physical risks than the shrink.

Y E S!!!!!!! I have NO idea how a 45 minute "interview" and 540 question test with questions that are soooooo off the wall, will predict if I will succeed at the band. Spare me! I told the folks at the bariatric center that I'd really be in bad shape if I DIDN'T get banded...

It's was so weird i only spent 10 mins with the shrink, it seemed like such a waste of money/time to me. The section of the hospital was soo old, dingy and scary, it was like right cuz i already don't feel bad enough about having to come here. When i first walked in she was like we require this of everyone who is doing elective surgery, is that true? i never thought you needed a psych eval for cosmetic surgery.
