Those 2 things are the last steps before getting approval from my insurance company!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am!! So, any advice? I have no idea what I'm in for tomorrow!!

Good luck to you tomorrow!

For the psych, I had to fill out a questionnaire and then take the MMPI--a long test with strange questions. Then the psychologist asked me a few questions. That was it.

For the nutritionist, I met with a P.A. who outlined what I could expect to be able to eat after surgery, and stressed low carb, high protein. He told me what vitamins and supplements I would need as well. He told me I would lose hair if I didn't get enough protein, and get lightheaded or headachy if I didn't drink enough fluids. I would have liked to have gotten into more specifics regarding the dietary restrictions, but there were other patients waiting in line to speak to him. So basically there wasn't much to either consult. Of course, yours may be different.

I did it! It was simple and easy! I had a questionare, a long talk with the psych, a MMRI test, then a quick visit with the nutrionist! I am going to schedule some therapy sessions every other week. My psych felt like I needed some help transitioning after surgery and dealing with some issues I have with my parents....but that regardless I'm a great candidate for the sleeve!! WooHoo!! Now I just have to wait 2-4 weeks for my insurance to approve my sleeve!!! I'm SO ready!!!!
