Recommended Posts

Today I have my final psych appointment I had to do 2. First was for the test, this one is to go over the test. Then I go to meet the surgeon. Getting excited but how much more do I have to look forward to once I meet the surgeon?? I know I have to do a ekg and other test before we send in for approval to blueshield. But for those already thru this stage how long did it take? Thanks

I am so there with you! I have only my psyche test to do and then I too have completed all the checkoffs required. So excited to get a surgery date soon. Good luck to you!

Good luck to you! I hit a bump. The psychologist said I failed the questionnaire. I was to scared to answer the questions about stress or depression and they said that I was not in touch with my emotions and wouldn't be ready to make a life style change. Luckily the lady said after talking with me face to face she didn't believe it was true so she is having me retake the test. Only bummer is I have to wait for approval frm ins. And and take another 2 hr test. But o well just trying to stay encouraged.

A Test!!! Good Lord - Have hated tests since High School - Can we do extra curricular activities to bring up our grade - LOL!! Use to do that in High School because I didn't test well. I have my Psych Eval on Wednesday 9/28 - My husband says for what - I can tell them your crazy... I saw somone posted about having BCBS (Nebraska) I am BCBS Delaware - All joking aside - I think mine is a 1 hour session as well - Crazy how alot of things are done differently from state to state and doctor to doctor as well as insurance to insurance.. Take Care everyone!!

      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... :(
