Hey everyone! I have my psych eval tomorrow and I'm wondering if any of you have any tips for me. For some reason I'm a little nervous, and I don't really know why.

I was nervous about mine too, but it turned out to be a very positive experience. I filled out a long questionnaire that asked questions on everything about personality, relationships, coping, anger, etc. I then met with the psychologist for about an hour. She evaluated my test answers and we talked about my background, history of weight loss attempts, family/friend support, etc. I hope you have the same kind of experience as I did.

Hi there!!

I just had my Psych Eval done on Friday.

It was so great, I was nervous too!

I thought maybe I wouldn't get clearance, but the Doctor was so friendly, I was totally honest with him. He asked questions, I answered truthfully, and he said ok, great I will print out the report to take with you! Yeah

Good Luck, and keep us updated!

Good NEWS! I was cleared and able to make my final appointment with the surgeon. Now, should I go ahead and schedule a physical with my PCP to include the EKG and blood work that I know will need to be done or do I wait until I'm instructed to do so?

That's great news, Im glad it went well for you!

I think that we just wait until we see our Surgeons, they will tell us where to go, and give orders for labs and EKG. When is your appointment?

It's April 10th. I'm hoping for an early May sleeve date. I don't know if things will work that fast though.

Well, maybe you should call your surgeon's

office and ask them if you should ask your PCP to order the tests, or should you wait until you see the surgeon!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
