I'm in PA. Having RNY probably late Aug/early Sept.

I find it so interesting how different the preop process is for each person. I keep seeing people talking about having seen the surgeon and stuff early on. The process for me is the opposite. I don't even get a 1 on 1 appt with the surgeon until the very end when everything else is completed.

Good luck Mrs. Rob, I hope u share the experiences. I still have a few months to go!

I still have a few months but this is something I've been thinking about also. I want to have enough for a few days (decent variety) but don't want to over do it either.

Wow! My surgeon doesn't require 2 week liquid diet. I will have to do a 2 week liver shrink diet, but it's not nearly that strict (thank goodness)

Can anyone tell me what the (+) number under our name means? Sorry in advance if that's a dumb question!

Ylime I have told my bf, kids and 3 close friends. I can't even tell my mom, she's a gossip...lol

Welcome Samantha, I'm rather new here too!

Good luck to you both!

Oh no! Now I'm worried.... I don't have any to begin with ?

RNY2018, Sounds like we are right about the same place in the process!

You are so lucky to not have the 6 mos weight loss! I'm jealous! Lol. Congrats ☺

My psych evaluation only took 30-40 mins. He discussed medical and mental health history, asked about support people I would have. He asked about my eating patterns and discussed new ways to deal with stress, celebrations, boredom and other causes of overeating. He also brought up that alot of people get depressed and upset that their spouse and children don't notice the weight loss because of seeing you daily and how to not take it personal. He actually had alot of good tips for different situations. I found it very helpful.

I started my 6 mos of pcp visits in Feb. I had my nutrition consult and psych evaluation last week. My final pcp visit is mid July. From everything I've been told surgery should be 4-6 wks after that. I'm guessing late August or early September. I am planning to have RnY procedure. I would love to have people to compare notes with along the way!
