Had my psych evaluation
on February 8, 2006 10:42 am
2/8/06 Hey everyone! I went to my psych. eval on feb 8th and it went great. The doctor that I saw said that the main reason I was there was for her to determine if I was mentally stable enough to handle the major changes this surgery involves. she also wanted to know if I had a support system other than my husband. she wanted to know what kind of diets I had tried before . it was a good visit. I am very excited and am anxiously awaiting the call from my surgeon's office saying they got the letter of clearance from her! I cannot wait. I know this will happen before I know it.
I guess I am just getting a little scared at the same time. I know it is normal to worry and be a little aprehensive. I just don't want to know that I failed at this too,next appointment with phsyc on feb.24. some reasons why i want to have this surgery.

1. I will feel better about myself..
2. I will be able to enjoy more activies.
3. Be healthier
4. I want have as much pain
5. Fewer medications
6. I will have more self confidence...

God is so good to me.. i know he walks beside me and he will be with me thru it all...god bless.
