I will ask my nutritionist I honestly don't like that psychologist

i wish I could go to another psychologist :/

I told him about my weight history and that I started to get depressed right after I got pregnant because of all the weight I was gaining and after I gave birth I started to gain more weight and couldn't lose the weight and that I asked my gynecologist to see if she would give me a referral to see a psychologist but I never went to see one because she gave me anti depressants (I never took them) maybe that's why he asked to see me again :/ but I told him about this app how it helped me understand the things that can happen post op like stalls, weight gain, my nut told me if you overeat all the time it can stretch ,I'm aware of all the risk and honestly I just want to be healthy I'm a low risk of becoming diabetic and I don't want that to happen. I hope everything changes after I see him again

Thank you so much Lisa!! I hope so I'm hoping he clears me when I go see him again

As far as I know - as the patient - you have a right to read any report they write. So Lisa - you should ask your surgeon for a copy. Same thing scarlep - when your psychologist writes it - ask for a copy. I did, and I got one directly from my psychologist. I didn't know that I asked him if he was going to send the report to my surgeon he said not yet because he wanted me to see the therapist I think he wants me to try to lose weight on my own I'm 282 pounds I gained 100 pounds during my pregnancy and I'm trying to make a change I can't lose weight I try hundred of diets and I gained the weight back

I hope that we get clear because I can't wait to have surgery and be healthy

yes I want to keep going I hope he clears me after I see him again

honestly I don't feel I need to go back I know I want to have the surgery I told him I'm depressed but it's because of my weight because I've never been this heavy and that I wanted to have surgery because I want to be healthy I have a 1yr old that needs me and it's hard for me to play with him without feeling tired or do things like go to the pool and the beach because I feel like I'm too fat to wear a bathingsuit

I went to the psychologist and he didn't clear me to have the surgery yet he wants me to go back in a week to see a therapist and to go back to him in three weeks after I have my sleeping test done... I'm so mad I thought I was only going to need one app but he said I'm a little depressed and he wants to see me again!! Has anyone gone to the psychology more than once?

How long did you had to wait to get a surgery date after you finished the weight management class and completed all the labs?

Wish you the best for tomorrow can't wait to read all about your experience!!

@simplyscarls although I don't post any surgery Info

Thank you for being so helpful now I have so many questions which it's good because I need to make sure I get all the information possible!! And you're right I'm already at low risk of becoming diabetic and I don't want that I rather have surgery and think positive about it

Thank you so much you're right I made this decision to better my health

At least you already have a date which it's amazing !! I can't wait till I have mine

Struggling with my weight my whole life has made me take the decision of having surgery and changing my life, I've tried every diet in the world (literally ) or I think I have, from the master cleanse, eating 600 cal a day, diet pills , some needles that goes around your ear , herbal life , blah blah anyways I'm so depressed I can't wait to get sleeved after I had my baby I gained 80 pounds ???? I feel bad because I have nothing to wear , I don't like going out because I feel ugly, I hate having a double chin, I'm tired of not having energy to play with my baby :/ I think my surgery will be around sept or late August hopefully!!! Also i don't know why but I've been having weird thoughts about death and complications I just want everything to be good!! Here's a pic of me before and after baby

Wow amazing!!!hope to lose as much as you

Good luck !! Everything will be fine

Thank you so much for replying

How does that make you feel? I am in the same position and it makes me feel like my life is on hold for the next 3 months. The Dr. & I have our supervised plan in place but I feel like we're both just going through the motions. It's kind of depressing!! Anyone else in this boat? Can you relate? Is this a normal feeling to have? What can I do to change my mindset so I can use this time to prepare in a productive way? I feel the same way, I feel very depressed I just want to have the surgery because I can't do it alone anymore I don't lose anything and if I do I'll gain the weight right away

Thank you for replying, did you already put the request for the sleeve procedure in with ur insurance company honestly I think that's done after the 6 months diet they require, If not then I haven't , now I have to complete the labs they are asking for and I'm so overwhelmed I can't wait till this surgery it's done!!

Well I don't have to lose anything but I can't gain anything either I have lost like 5 pounds within 4 months :/ ugh

I think I'll have surgery at the end of August or early sept I finish my 6months in July

How long did it take you to complete all the labs I feel like it'll take at least a month ,and my nutritionist said we needed to stop smoking two months before surgery my surgery will in sept or late August but I think early sept because my last weight management class it's at the end of July, anyways on Saturday I smoked some hookah but obviously I won't keep smoking hookah anymore even after surgery because I want a healthy life style but do you think it'll come up on my urine exam or blood exam the nicotine levels ? Idk when I'm having the labs done maybe next week.. Or will it be out of my system by then?

I'm glad everything went well!!
