So, on Valentine's Day I will have my psychological evaluation. Let me start by saying I am very sane and I am getting this surgery for all the right reasons. My questions for those of you who have had your psychological evaluations are, what kind of questions do they ask? Is there something's I should or shouldn't say? Do I have to lay on a couch?(Lol) What's the deal? Never needed to have this type of evaluation so I'm really curious to find out what I will be facing.......(-; HELP

Thank you Suznc, I am Trying not to let it get to me. Trying to remain optimistic about the whole ordeal. /-:. I Still have a few More things to get done before it is submitted to my insurance company. I haven't been assigned a date yet but it looks like some time in February is what they are telling me.(-:

HEY everyone, well, I went to my primary doctor yesterday and She gave me the "Okay" to proceed with my requirements I need for surgery. Here the problem. For some Reason the have found "PROTEIN" in my urine. This is the second time! I have to go back and see her on Tuesday to discuss medication. I'M a little worried because I Really don't understand what or Why this is happening. I have been diagnosed with diabetes. Could this be the cause of the protein? Is having this problem going to Keep me from getting my surgery? If not will the protein go away like my diabetes will? I'M lost, I know I will discuss it with my primary doc on Tuesday, but in the meantime, in-between time I need some advice )-:.

I was a little sad because I saw my "actual weight" Today at my appointment Today. I immediately beat myself up and asked myself How Did I allow myself to Get this out of control)-:...it Kinda brought my spirits down. Like the cliche goes," WHAT U DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT YOU", well I know now and I Feel sad )-:

Thank you PaulB for your encouragement! I am so ready for this life changing event. I Want to be healthy for me and my kids. I Want to live and be happy with me and what I see and right now I am not. Soon it will Get Better and I will look back and Say, what was I worried about! I Did it and I love me and what I see. (-: Again, Thank you!!

Congrats mamiof3kids and Thanks for the encouragement! It means a lot!!

Lol...Yes u do!! They are lifesavers!!

I agree with u fully!! We are choosing to live by getting this done. I believe it will add More years onto our lives. Who wants to be unhappy & unhealthy for the rest of their lives? I surely don't!! (-:....I Can't Wait to hear we are approved and have had our surgeries!! You Keep me posted as well! (-:..God Bless!!!!

So I had my first appointment with my surgeon Today! I am so happy because everyone was so nice and very caring. We discussed what my requirements are and procedures that I have to do on my end. The nurse that went over the insurance part told me that She "absolutely loves" my insurance company!! She says they usually give a approval in 2to 3 business days!!!! Yayyyyyyyy! I am so motivated and so ready for this! It's long overdue!

Congrats to you as well joyaskins34!!!! It became full reality on Friday. It gave me a determination to do what I have to do to Keep the ball rolling. Be encouraged my dear. Trust God, He's got you(-:...Everything will Work out for your good!!

I have BCBS of NC.

So glad I am not alone!! I remember my mom buying Poise,and thinking "gross!" Well, I was in the drug store the other day and had an out of body experience!!! Lol! I found myself heading straight for the aisle that have them and purchasing some for myself! NOOOOO! I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ME!! AND THOSE SUCKAS NOT CHEAP EITHER!!!!! I'm praying this changes after surgery as well cuz it's costly!!

MY surgeon told me that I Should start a 1200-1800 calorie of which he did gave me a sample menu and things I can do to lose a few pounds before surgery. He says the weight I lose will help shrink my liver and make it easier to get to where they are going to be doing the procedure. He also said that If I don't lose something that the liver Maybe too hard and they will have to postpone the surgery, because they wouldnt Want to damage the liver. I pray this isn't the case and that I will lose enough weight. I don't have a surgery date yet, I Still have tests to do but I am going to start the diet that he gave me really soon. That will give me a jump start on my weight lose and assurance that my liver will be pliable and will shrink some. Wish me luck guys(-;!!
