HI..I AM REALLY NERVOUSE I AS I HAVE MY INITIAL CONSULT WITH THE SURGEION TOMORROW MORNING. I HAVE REALLY DONE MY RESEARCH. THIS SITE HAS HELPED ME A LOT . NOT ONLY GETTING READING OTHERS POST, SUCCESS STORIES, BUT A LOT OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS I'VE HAD, BUT MORE GUTS TO POST AND ASK THEM :unsure: I AM REALLY NERVOUSE, AS I WOULD HATE TO GO TO MORROW AND NOT QUIALIFY OR HAVE MY INS CO GIVE ME B.S ABOUT NOT AUTHORIZING MY SURGERY.

I HAVE UNITED HEALTHCARE, I DON'T HAVE A PCP. ALTHOUGH A REFERRAL IS NOT REQUIRED. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I WILL HAVE TO DO A 3-6 MONTH DIET REGIMEN OR WILL BEING OVERWEIGHT FOR ALL MY LIFE BE ENOUGH? HAVING DEPRESSION, PCO AND PRE-DIABETES ENOUGH?

I ALSO HAVE MY PSYCH EVAL FOR TUESDAY..WHAT IS HE GOING TO ASK ME? ARE THERE ANY WRONG ANSWERS? ANYTHING I SHOULD AVOID MENTIONING...?

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK, THANK YOU!

Hi and welcome,

Try not worry as everything is baby steps. This is a great site to ask anything 99% of the people are very nice here. I had my op on Monday the 25th of July. As for Psych testing they will ask you why you want this op. If you have tried to loose weight before. If married or dating how they feel about you getting the op. Can you afford this op and will you really work with as a tool. Have you dieted have you tried other was to loose weight. How do you feel being over weight how will you feel once you loose weight, Those are some of the question's I was asked.

Please know that they ask these questions to see if you are ready for this,

Please let me know how you make out. Good luck,

Mary

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
