Hello everyone. This is my first post in the community. I've had my first appointment and now I'm doing the surgical clearances that my wacko insurance requires........ a phsyc test...... really? Probably sounds worse than it actually is.

I'm in the Annapolis area and my doc is Dr. Singh through St. Agnes hospital. They are nice people that's why I've chose them. I'm starting into the liquid diet, even though I'm more than two weeks out, as the doctor recommended.

My apprehensions about this have gone away I think. I just hope my whole life changes completely not only with the surgery, but also with my choices about how live.

Have a nice day everyone!:thumbup:

CONGRATULATIONS on the start of your journey. By the way just about everyone goes through a phsyc test. They just want to make sure you are doing this for the right reasons and that you are strong enough for the surgery. It's no big deal really. They just ask the basic questions. It does sound worse then it really is.

This is definitely a lifestyle change. Understand that just because you have the surgery doesn't mean that all of your bad habits are going to go away over night. It will take time for you to learn and change these habits. But you will get there.
