I have a psych eval coming up..... what all is he going to be asking me? They said it will take prolly 90 minutes or so!

Mine took 15 minutes, maybe 20, tough to remember but you get the idea. She asked me about my mental health and physical health and about the surgery. She asked WHY I wanted it because I didn't look like I needed it until I told her my BMI. I guess I carry my weight well. <shrug> She wanted to make sure I was doing this for me and that nobody else was making me do it or putting pressure on me to do it. She wanted to know what kind of support system I had etc. It went quickly for me because I do not have any history or mental illness or depression and do not take any meds and because it was clear it wasn't something I am reluctant about in the least. I have a good support system and am quite knowledgeable from reading these forums. I have already lost a good bit on my own without it being warranted. She wanted to know how I'd manage the 5 children post op. All in all, there were no red flags to discuss, so it went quickly. She actually seemed happy for me and was sort of congratulating me and told me straight up she was recommending me for the surgery and thought I'd be very successful. Use that to get an idea. It seems the questions she asked me are fairly typical, though you may have more to discuss than I did.

      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... :(
