I'm looking forward to being able to play with my critter without getting winded--I can chase the soccer ball around for a couple minutes now and then I am done. I want his energy!
I'm looking forward to wearing non-plus-size clothes. I want to wear the cute stuff!
I'm looking forward to being able to walk a 5k by the end of the year.

I went in to my pre-op testing with the assumption I would expect to be there for four hours since that is what I was told to prepare for. I was in and out in less than an hour. They asked me lots of questions, pulled blood for testing, and that was it. I had already had an EKG during a pre-op visit two months prior, my sleep apnea was no longer an issue (I had lots of nose/throat surgeries for it), and I had already done an endoscopy six months prior because of some GI issues. The pre-op visit was easy-peasy. It really just depends on what your co-morbidities are and what tests they need to run.
Good luck!

I am a type-2 bipolar with anxiety (treated) who also does emotional and boredom eating. I was between psychiatrists at the time because my prior one was an idiot so I saw one of the psychologists my surgery site recommended to have my eval done.
His eval required me to take six different tests regarding my personality, how I approached eating, and my history. I take tests very quickly so it took me about an hour but he planned for three hours. Afterward we sat down and talked about the test results, my history with my mental illness, my family history, my eating habits, and my expectations of surgery.
I was cleared by him for surgery but with the suggestions of becoming settled with a new psychiatrist for at least two months and seeing a psychologist/therapist for at least three visits regarding the emotional and boredom eating. He gave me suggested persons for both, whom I am now seeing regularly.
It's really not that bad, honest. Just takes a chunk of time and money.
