PSYCH EVAL

Mar 09, 2010

Ok,

so I was approved for surgery and i'm in the process of getting all my clearences.  My Pituitary gland issues are resolved so I thought it would be smooth sailing from here. 

Well, I got to my psych eval, and of course we all got issues and I thought hard about whether I should be truthful or say what they want to hear. 

Well, after careful thought, I want this surgery for an overall better me, not just for looks, so I went ahead and told how I really feel.  After reviewing all my paperwork and test, she thought I had a lot of food issues and suggested that I seek on going counseling regarding my issues and food before she would clear me. 

I knew I had issues but it really hits home when someone else agrees.  Well, I called my mother to tell her the news.  I was surprised when she told me that she agreed with the diagnosis.  I was expecting her to tell me that lady was crazy and that her baby was perfect!! 

My said she could see it in me because I bottle up everything and when something little happens I just explode.  It doesn't even matter what it is.  I just keep it all bottle in.  I just figured I was doing the right thing, Just keep going and deal with things but I have to admit that this life is becoming overwhelming.

I guess I always knew to be successful with this surgery I would need some counseling, but to hear someone else agree, just was a little weird for me.

My 1st appointment is May 15th at 7pm w/ my therapist.   Wish me luck!
