I'm getting nervous for the endoscopy and the psych visit tomorrow! I hope everything turns out well

I kid you not when I say you'll be fine. The psych exam was extremely painless...I was concerned that I would fail because I have a history of anxiety and I am an emotional eater. But he was really nice and mainly asked questions about if I had a history of sexual abuse, what my family life was like as a child, how well did I understand the procedure, how I felt about knowing 85% of my stomach would be removed and if I had any history of an bulimia or anorexia. My exam was on a Friday and he told me the same day I'd be approved and he wrote my approval letter and faxed it to my surgeon that following Monday.

As for the endoscopy, it wasn't bad at all! I was put to sleep for the procedure, which I hear is better than when they allow you to stay awake. I posted in more detail about it here: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/290141-endoscopy/

Anyhow, *hugs* you'll be fine! I promise

I agree with comfy. Psych eval was NOTHING! Just be honest and use that time to gain as much help to ensure you'll never be in this situation again!

The endoscopy was ABSOLUTELY nothing! You don't even have to take your pants off. Actually, I don't even remember taking my bra off....I may have, just don't remember. You will lay on your side and go to sleep. A piece of cake!
