Is it possible to have a telehealth or zoom appointment? Ask the office! They may accommodate you!

i actually did that. So the appointment is a two parter. 1st part is thru Zoom on March 1st. the 2nd part must be in office and is a computer testing that last 3-4 hours and is roughly 600 questions long. :(

Fingers crossed that it comes back negative and you don’t have to change anything but at least if you do it’s just the testing part which is probably with office staff and not the dr so the appointments should be easier to get.

To be honest, you should have checked with us on the whole "Should I get Covid?" question.

I think a majority of us would have come down on the "No" side.

Here's hoping you reconsider the results of the test and choose "No", just to be safe.

Good luck,

Tek

Yep, that’s the MMPI test. It took me one hour. My psychologist sent me a link to take it at home. I never met with him in person. It’s interesting how different the process is at different clinics.

Yup thats the name. but there is also another test as well apparently that goes after that one. Gonna try again to see if i can do it at home if my test comes up positive again.

While it's true that all humor is best when explained in excruciating detail, in this case I was working out an alternate reality concept that does not lend itself to a coherent explanation.

It's best just to live with the confusion and move on lest I choose to explain it anyhow, then you'll be sorry.

Good luck,

Tek

Holy cow. I did my psych visit from a Las Vegas hotel room using Zoom. It didn't last even 10 minutes! I can't believe you have to take the MMPI test at all, much less in an office! Not cool.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
