Well folks, after fretting about seeing the psychologist, I'm actually coming out of the meeting feeling really good about things.  The meeting was totally comfortable, and her friendly demeanor helped make talking about some of the more difficult things really easy.

 

AND!

After today, I had 1 appointment left, the dietician, on July 19.  I figured, hey, I'm here, let's ask if there's any openings.  And as luck would have it, I'm now booked a full month earlier, on June 19th!  To anyone distressed at the amount of time it's taking for your appointments, call!  Ask when you're there!  It pays off.  The bonus?  The team meets on the 20th...which means less delay for my decision!  Woot!  I'm so psyched right now! 

 

Surgeon...here I come!!!

Congrats on making it through the psych appointment, and glad it was easier than you thought
Calling for cancellations definitely pays off! Here's hoping you get a quick decision when they meet on the 20th!

The psychologist was quite positive/impressed with what she saw, and actually said things were looking really good from what she saw in the file. Fingers crossed!

I haven't had my psych. appointment yet. What should I expect at that appointment?

Any information is appreciated.

Thank you enlightened

Basically, they do a history of your mental health, and talk about how certain things can affect you after surgery. It really wasn't as bad as I feared. Dr. Wnuk was fantastic.

Way to go!   See, no needless worry about the psychologist.  Worst case scenario, they want you to reflect on stuff and meet with them again.

 

Congrats on getting your appointment moved up.
