Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 Today I met with my PCP. We briefly talked about wls and the issues I am up against. We aren't shooting right now for wls yet but he did request a sleep apnea study. I am borderline on the BMI. With my new pounds gained in the past week it is now 39.9. One of my problems is that I deal with two major health issues he said. One is my obesity and the other is my clinical depression. Sadly both feed on each other. He said to take the sleep apnea test and we will go from there. He can get me medically approved he believes. So I started to mention the different surgeries and he said we were jumping the gun a little and to take one step at a time. So the next step has been put in motion. we'll see I guess. really dealing with swinging emotions here but am glad to have taken the next step. I personally believe that dealing with one of these issues (the obesity) will help alleviate some of the others chronic problems. If I had better health I might be able to find the strength to get up every morning and accomplish something. oh well BTW can someone explain to me what the Psych eval is looking for? i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
