I had my psych eval face to face, it was my last in office appointment before everything shut down and went virtual. I was nervous, most people are, but be honest, don’t share too much, but be genuine. Did I tell her that I would binged chocolate covered cherries while I was dealing with postpartum depression? Uhm, no. Did I tell her that there were time during depressive episodes that I felt out of control? Yes. I also explained how I handled them after, how I’m not like that anymore, my coping tools, then I went on to talk about physical activities I enjoy and my support system. They’ll want to know about your support system, or lack there of if that’s the case, and how you plan on being successful after surgery. By this appointment I’d found this group which I completely gushed over because this is a wonderful community of helpful people at all stages of WLS. She really liked that I’d found support outside of their office.
