Went for my Psyc eval today and passed. He said he has never had someone finish the test so fast or give better answers!!! Our office sends approvals to insurance on Thursdays. He is finishing up the note and I'm hoping she can submit tomorrow. So excited.

Still amazes me that some people have to take test during their psych evals and some don't. Mine was only a discussion session for about 45 minutes, with a few meditation and relaxation techniques to help cope with stress, as not to fall to food during those times.

Glad you did well...

I agree. How is there not a standard for approving someone for the surgery? I was nervous about the questions he may ask and then some of the questions on the test were so dumb, but it was easy.

I had to fill out two pages. He asked me about my history and I got a mini lecture. I was in and out within 20 minutes.

What was the lecture he gave you? Mine discussed my results with and talked about me being a good candidate mentally. It's funny how true and false tells him about my little mind.

So what happens if the psych determines you are a raving lunatic ?

He basically said this was life changing and I need to make sure that I am prepared for it.

I am by-polar and have a shrink, my surgeon still sent me for a psych eval, to another doctor just to make sure I was ready for this. I had a 30 minute interview and had a written test with about 50 questions. Oh I passed no problems.

      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.

        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!
