Default Took my MMPI today

Well, today I officially started the journey. I did my before picture at the doctors office, did my first weigh in, another EKG and took the MMPI and the nutrition inventory.

I go back on Tuesday and meet the Nurse Practictioner, Dietician, Psychologists and physical therapist. I can't wait to get the results of the MMPI. I told the receptionist that if I did not know how seriously they took it then I would be tempted to blow the test to see what happens.

Have you taken the MMPI? They ask a lot of strange questions!

I have a meeting on June 12 with the pulmonologist to determine if I really need a sleep study of not. If I do, they will schedule it asap. If not, I then get to schedule an appointment with the surgeon for first consult.

I am on the road - now for it to hurry up and get me a date!

Ella

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

MMPI = Minnesota Multiple Personality Inventory test.
One of the most often used psych screening tests. I had to take it as part of the admission screening for med school.
