Third Appointment
Jan 11, 2012
I'm still amazed at how kind and caring they are at Virginia Mason. I had my third meeting with the dietitian (one left to go) and my meeting with the psychiatrist. I've seen a different dietitian each time and, so far, they're all very kind and understanding people. Nothing like a dietitian I saw about 10 years ago who scolded me for eating a very small piece of cake at a friends birthday party. I guess I'd convinced myself they'd all be like that judgmental, narrow minded person. All I can say is, whew!The psychiatrist was equally kind and understanding. I never felt like he was looking for a reason to undermine my surgery. He asked me a lot of questions directly related to my mental preparation, my expectations, my knowledge of what this surgery entails and how it was going to affect the remainder of my life. It went well and I left his office feeling relaxed and even more confident that I am making the right decision.
