VSG and depression/anxiety meds

I am feeling better about the psych eval, just impatient and ready to get this going already. My 1st app isn't till the 23rd n that's to meet the surgeon I guess, not sure what happens the 1st meeting.

Has anyone been on these meds and passed/failed the psych eval? What about after surgery and these meds? Has it changed where you don't need these meds anymore?

I had no problem passing but I went to support groups before my visit. They were good about telling me to be realistic about the surgery. He wanted to know that I didn't think it was going to be easy and a cure all. I take Paxil and Buspar and I suffer from both anxiety and depression.

The support meetings, I think we have to GI yo one of those anyway I could be wrong though. The only meetings like that is in Kc so I may have to go. I know its no cure all and I will have to workout and obviously eat better/smarter its a tool to help not a magic wand so to speak lol. To bad though ????????

As far as the meds, I just wasn't sure and it is great to hear so many are on meds and have passed the psych eval, didn't want them judging me cause I was on meds so to speak. Thank you and how far are you in this?
