Easiest psych clearance!



Recommended Posts

Hahaha....yep, I had the joy after my psych clearance of being able to tell my husband and teenagers, "Ha! I'm NOT crazy....I've been tested!" Phew

Wow you are lucky...I probably spent 20 minutes talking to the doctor but I also had to go through a 600+ questionnaire!

I am not sure why everyone stresses about seeing the physcologist but we do. Then we find out it was no big thing and we worried for nothing.

LOL.....Glad things went well for you!

I was charged $175 and didn't get my money's worth. lol Most of the time I felt like I was the shrink and he was on the couch. He talked about his upcoming knee surgery (the topic was surgery) for 20 minutes and the rehab he'll do for it. lol I didn't really care, he did send the report to my surgeon immediately although they misplaced it and we had to hunt him down during his recuperation to tell the nurse where copies of my report were.

My therapist said that I used all the right verbiage and that I'm so positive!! And after showing pics of my 6 year old who is so adorable by the way she sent me on my way!! But I must credit not just the research I've being doing but even the things I'm learning on here made me well prepared????

Yes...600!!! She sat with me and asked me some questions and then I was taken to a different room where I had to take a 600 question written test. The kind you take in school where you fill in the bubble...lol

I was definitely nervous about my appointment, but I filled out all the paperwork and answered all the questions she asked and it turns out I'm perfectly sane (and mentally prepared for my revision)

All that stressing for nothing!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
