what to tell the surgeon?

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

The shrunk just asked me a million questions about my tech business. I could have been bi-polar or something and he would have never known unless his questions were cloaked and he was just that good.

It was a brief chat about why I wanted to have the surgery and my past weight history. The rest of the time was spent with the psychiatrist asking me to read his manuscript and send it to my publishing contacts. Similar experience to @@OutsideMatchInside I guess.

Consequently, while I was waiting to go into surgery they left me in a room alone with my chart for some time so I was leafing through it and found the clearance letter that the shrink wrote. It was riddled with errors - he had my age wrong, he had my weight history way way wrong (I was not an overweight child or teenager, I gained most of my weight in the last few years) and he said I was "preoccupied with my appearance" which we didn't discuss at all. My guess was that it's just more of a form letter and he knows what to write so I'll get approved but jeez.
