  1. Got a call that started, "the surgeon wants to move your surgery...." I think I started hyperventilating. Luckily, it's only one day later. So I'm May 11th now. Can't believe that's less than 4 weeks! HEIGHT 5'9.5" HW 305; Started with first surgery, dietician visit 10/21/16
  2. Me too! So looking forward to it. HEIGHT 5'9.5" HW 305; Started with first surgery, dietician visit 10/21/16
  3. I was nervous too, and I just had mine on 1/26. What everyone else who answered said is true. I got asked a lot of questions about why I wanted the surgery, and what my expectations are of the surgery. I was given a couple of quizzes before, and we went over the answers. A lot of the questions were getting at my relationship with food. The psychologist then did a basic mental health screening. I'm in the field so I knew to expect that. I also have depression & that wasn't an issue. Good luck! HEIGHT 5'9.5" HW 305; Started with first surgery, dietician visit 10/21/16

  5. I haven't had it yet but that's where I'm planning on going. I'm in my third, out of six, month for Nutritionist meetings. HEIGHT 5'9.5" HW 305; Started with first surgery, dietician visit 10/21/16
  6. Hi! I'm having mine with Dr. Aquilina at VCU. I pray everything went well for you! HEIGHT 5'9.5" HW 305; Started with first surgery, dietician visit 10/21/16
  7. Hi, I'm on the beginnings of this journey too. I was curious what the psychological eval is like? HEIGHT 5'9.5" HW 305; Started with first surgery, dietician visit 10/21/16
  8. I have Anthem & I have to do a six month meeting with a dietician and NP but they don't call it a weight loss goal. Had my second meeting last week and it seems to be more of a pep talk/review session. I'm so glad to have found this app and all the suggestions you all provide. Thanks!
