I had my mental health evaluation today, much simpler than I expected. I had a very short questionnaire, it seemed that it was geared towards rooting out depression. The counselor asked me questions about my personal history; basic medical background stuff. She went over what the process would be from here on. We talked about the support systems I have in place and how I would be expected to go to some of the groupd before and after my surgery. We did speak about how most of my stress and anxiety comes from the 14 year old boy my husband and I adpoted from foster care 4.5 years ago.The counselor mentioned how some people feel that my surgeon is not real personable. I thought that during my consult with him that we sort of spoke the same language. I work in biomedical research so I am used to working with people who are very focused on their work: ok, well some people call them science NERDS. (Think about the T.V. series "The Big Bang Theory.") Anyway, I was very comfortable with my surgeon.
The center is waiting on one more piece of information from my PCP. This is my fault, I thought they just needed my weight history on letterhead. I guess they also want my latest physical information and labs also. I had my physical 2 weeks ago, but my fasting labs are not until July 2nd.
