Montage 87 Posted October 30, 2012 So today is the start of my visits to the Team. I am starting with the Psychologist. Not sure what to expect. Can anyone share some light on this for me? Never been to a shrink before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crc0710 15 Posted October 30, 2012 Mine was really sweet. I had to do both a written text and had to talk to her. For me she went over my reason and my goals. She wanted details like when do I think I will be at my goal weight. What do I have to do before, during and after surgery. She also touch a little bit on my support group and what my normal life is like. She was wonderful and if my insurance did not change to one she does not take I would so be back. Good luck and the number one thing I can say about it is don't be in a hurry. Give yourself time. They have to be there all day and I know if I feel rush then I always forget something. On the test be honest. If issue come up you want them to happen now so they can be addressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
