Hello, my name is laura I just now downloaded this app and I am very excited I finished my 6mo of diet and nutrition, and currently have my sleep apnea review to see if i need a new one.I have to meet the surgeon, and the phyc evaluation that is the one im worried about. Then they said they would go request to my insurance which is health plan select.

I wanted to know if anyone else was as worried as i am I am preatty sure that mentally i am ready for this I spent a year reading and studying this surgery and I work in the medical field with the instruments of this surgery so I know what is going to happen in the o.r but I am terrified of the actual evaluation can anyone please help me to see just examples of what questions they ask you?

You're stressing for no reason. The psyc evaluation is a very informal conversation with a phschologist to determine if you are mentally stable and understand the totality of the procedure. Mine lasted for about 5 minutes and it was a pleasant conversation - not a question/answer session.

You'll be just fine!

      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! 😞
