Jeannie in CO.... Psych Eval

September 24, 2006

As I've said before:

I went to mine 2 weeks ago or so, I know you're nervous because his decision

plays a big

role in getting approval for this surgery.

Here's my advice: be yourself!

I was scared s*itless, almost hyperventilated in the waiting room! LOL

after going back to his office ( which was set up like a livingroom, not

even a desk in sight!) I was totally relaxed and thought, take me as I am

.... or not, I actually enjoyed myself, we chatted a bit asked about my past,

what support I might have after surgery, what did I know about the the

surgery and what was I doing to prepare for it, before and after, and did I

think I could follow the restricted diet etc. after we were done talking he

gave me a questionnaire; 175 questions to answer true or false, some of the

questions made me litterly laugh right

out loud! There is no time limit, and I wasn't under any pressure at all.

Well, later Barix had the report I " passed " with flying colors, he

said my personality was a hoot lol a doctor saying that! go figure!

Good luck! Be yourself no one does it better that you!
