Went to my consult, she said I was a perfect candidate for surgery. Dr Francois was blunt and honest about everything, no hand holding or holding back whatsoever. She said many people get this surgery thinking it'll fix their addiction or habits to fast food or junk food, and that's just not true. You need to make a change today, and not after the surgery. I'm one of those people who eat out a lot due to convenience and such and also am a picky eater. It sounds like she is approving of me getting it, but HIGHLY SUGGESTS a change in my eating habits. NO FAST FOOD, NO SODA!!! In short, I have been referred to a different city in IL to undergo this program ASAP. I haven't heard from them yet, but went ahead and asked the surgeon's office for the info so I can call myself in a few weeks or so if need be.

Hello there What should I expect when I go to my consult on June 1st? Thankfully they're allowing another person to come in with me who could also ask questions and such. I am planning on getting a new dietitian / nutritionist as my current one doesn't specialize in bypass or had extra training. She said to ask the surgeon who I should see on this.

I meant more so picky eater as in not liking veggies, liking burgers plain, etc. I am not the picky eater type who only eats mac n cheese, cashews, or whatever else. I always am up to trying foods that aren't favorites of mine.

I am expecting the 4-6 month requirement as some who said they were on Medicaid/Medicare had to go thru that. I am also expecting to try to lose or maintain the weight but with fluctuation being a thing for me....

Yes, I know. I have always been that way and have heard this all of my life. I am aware I am picky as hell, and people always say this or I get worse comments than this.

Indeed this is a super subjective question. I am super picky and don't eat veggies at all whatsoever. lol

I am new here but can confirm I am a super picky eater. I have sadly been ridiculed by so many people be it online or in my real life for being a picky eater. Now when I say picky, I mean SUPER picky. I am currently referred to see a surgeon for a consultation, and I have seen a dietitian in the past year. It may take a bit longer with COVID and such going on currently though.
