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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
