So had my psych eval today....it was good....they mentioned a couple of things that I never read anywhere or seen before so I'm seeing if somebody can verify it for me.

1-she said that with this surgery I can't have any sugars....EVER...is that true?

2-she also said that if I ever overeat ONCE I'll rip the band of my stomach....uhh, what?

just seeing what the truths of those 2 statements were

"She" doesn't know what "she's" talking about. Sounds like "she" needs psych eval more than you.

I've had my band 1 1/2 yrs. Have eaten sugars & have overeaten. Only consequence of overeating is severe heart burn.

^^This^^

She's either ignorant or just lying...worrisome in either case.

When was your appointment, April1. Sounds like an April Fools joke to me! Your psych eval, sounds like she has confused lapband with gastric bypass. I, also, have sugar when I want it. I usually use a sweetener, but indulge in "real" sugar, too! Karen

wow, wasted money and time to go to that psych. , but if it's a hoop you must jump through check it off your list and move on to the next hoop.

This person needs to be reported to your surgeon though. If you got a referral from your surgeon's office that is. Unless it was a "test" of your band knowledge. To put misinformation like that out there borders on malpractice in my opinion.

It's conceivable that a person might cancel surgery based on these statements and not get the treatment for obesity that they deserve.
