It just seems so far away

It does at times seem like it is a long process. It seems like once you have dates for your next step, is when it starts to go by. Where r u having surgery??

@shrinkydinkme.....if it is in San Bernadino...just a fyi that might help!! I just called the department of psych in riverside...this is where I had mine done....they said their soonest appt is june 2 ... n it does not matter if your pcp is in another city...kaiser is kaiser n they do the psych eval for surgery too...so give them a call 951-248-4000

Tickiest2thick, I have a question...When you called the psych dept did you have to meet with a Therapist first? then be referred to the Psychiatrist for the actual appt? Which means co-pay $35 bucks a pop, yuck. Did you just speak to the Therapist or did you go straight to the Psychiatrist?

No I did not have to meet with a therapist first.... I called and scheduled a appt with a psychiatrist. I just told them I needed a psych evaluation for bariatric surgery.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
