Hello all,

I am a newbie here. I was looking at this website to answer a few of my questions about the surgery and enjoyed reading all the success stories. They were all so encouraging! I have been heavy for most of my life and struggled with many options to lose weight just to regain it all back & then some. That is why I have decided to get sleeved after many months of research.

I am pre-op and I submitted my complete application a few weeks ago and my first appointment is scheduled Jan 30th. I have already attended a seminar, received approval from my pcp, letters from my gyno, two sleep studies complete, bloodwork complete, and my psych evaluation is tomarrow. I am looking for pre and post op sleevers to get advice and be able to talk to others taking the same journey as me. Any advice for my psych evaluation or other pre-op preparations would be would be greatly appreciated!

Just be yourself, it's basically a formality to make sure your not psycho! Lol, they really just want to make sure that you understand this isn't a miracle cure....it's a tool & you still have to work to control your eating. I am just a month post op tomorrow & I LOVE my sleeve! I can basically eat anything I want...just way smaller portions! I'm totally satisfied with that! Good luck!

lol yea i figured it was something like that....just the thought of going to see a psychologist is a little weird because I never thought I would after studying four years of psychology in college. Thanks and good luck with your journey!
