need an appt with a psychologist... any pointers ??

i have to have a required appt with a psycologist, any pointers for me to take into this appt ??  i am not sure why i need this appt but my insurance AND the hospital both require it, it's only a one time only appt but i still don't understand why i need it or what i should ask/do at this appt or what i shouldn't ask/do !

thanks for any help with this .....

Just be yourself and make sure they know you know world peace will not happen if you lose weight...oh, and that you have a great support system in place. Rock on!

It is not that bad.  for me she dug into my family history of obesity, i pointed out the exact reason I wanted WLS was due to  family history.  we talked about a support system afterward, the reasons I wanted to have WLS, how I am preparing for the surgery.  Asked about depression, and things of that nature.  It took about an hour, she told me before I left I was fine and she saw no issues.  Be yourself...you'll be fine.

Good luck,

We had to fill out a LONG questionare about our history, relationships, etc.  Then we spent about an hour talking about it.  No big deal.  They are just looking to be sure you are being realistic, understand what you are getting yourself into, have support, etc.  Don't be afraid, be honest and yourself.  You will be fine.
