Nervous & Excited !?

Wow, I didnt think I would be this nervous!! Tomorrow, is the LONG anticiapated meeting with the Psychologist & I'm sooohappy, but nervous @ the same time!! I am nervous that I may of shows them on the test's and conversation that I have a real low self esteem which I do. But, really what severly obese person wouldn't right? I am just wondering ( probably making this a bigger deal then it is ) if this would disqualify me from being able to have the surgery? And, if I am not able to how long is that for? I mean in a year can I do another Psych Eval and if I do well on that one, then am I able to have the surgery? I am really happy because I have waited 4 long weeks and worried, prayed and tried to relax and just leave it up to God. I am praying for Brenda and all of you everynight. I am scared probably more so the possible rejection of something going wrong and me not being able to have the surgery, then I am something going wrong during surgery. Yes, I have those friends who knew someone that new someone that died.... But, that person isnt me. I know I have a purpose and I know it isnt my time... It is my time to live and this surgery is going to be a tool to help me do just that.... okay, thanks everyone for listening...or reading... lol ~Lo

Was about to go to bedand saw your post- thank you for your prayers- I sure stand in need of them with this cough!

About your testing.  If you tested too good, that would be bad too...so just try not to stress it untill you talk to the dr.  I think in general, all of us worry about mostly the same things!  I was amazed how much truth that test showed about me.  It seemed the answers were all so vague, none just right or wrong or black or white... I thought I'd probly really mess mine up.  But, when the answers came back graded, it was amazing how much it was like my thumb-print.

Did you see the TV special Sunday night about WLS - I was so relieved with the doc. said something like 'it's safer than galbladder surgery' or something to that content...I forget now just exactly what he said, but it sure took a lot os stress off me to hear him say that!

I'm headed for bed, I can't stop this coughing and so I'm going to take my medicines and sleep.  The tussy pearls make me sleepy, probly codein in them-

Thanks again for the prayers- let us know how your test appointment went!

Brenda

You will be fine, we all went through the same feelings, I had my gall bladder taken out and it was worse than having my RNY so that doc was right...it was a breeze.... just do everything thr doc tells you to and you will fine....vesta..

what they are really looking for with the psych eval is that you are intelgent enough to understand the rules and to follow directions and will comply to the diet and do and dont.
