I go for my psych eval on monday. My surgeon referred me to Dr. Kenneth Davison for the psych evaluation. I'm a bit nervous about this, any tips??

No, I haven't met him yet, how is he? I know Dr. Mikhail has some good experience in performing the sleeve. I am a RN and Paramedic and recognized him from Christ hospital. He was a trauma surgeon there and then spent time at the Cleveland clinic doing bariatric surgeries. I drilled him on the questions when I had my consult

I have not met Dr. Rosen either. From what I hear not to many people do. I met Dr. Mikhail and he was great!! I have my surgery on Nov 1st and my pre-op on Oct 17. I told them I wanted to meet Dr. Rosen and they said they would see what they could do!! Thanks for the info on Dr. Mikhail, that makes me feel good I work in Ob/Gyn and the doctors that I work with say Dr. Rosen is a great surgeon.

Hi, just butting in…I'm going through LifeWeigh too…scheduled my date on Friday for 12/4. I've met with Dr. Rosen on my first appt., and the other day with Dr. Mikhail (surprisingly -- I thought I was meeting w/nurse practitioner). Totally liked both docs in conversation, seemed very easy to communicate with.

I'm in Lemont, scared, and looking for support too. Very happy to see some others nearby!

Hey Crinch... Your not butting in!!! It's great to get feedback from people that are going to LW! I'm scheduled for Nov 1st and it's coming quickly!!! I have my pre-op this Thursday and I supposed to meet Dr.Rosen, but I am not holding my breath . Dr. Mikhail was great, so I am not to worried. When did you start going to LW?

In the second week of August. I've gone 3x, and now will meet for pre-op in November. I've got to do 4 weeks of VLCD beforehand. Been on it almost 2 weeks and have dropped some weight. Hoping to be -50 before surgery, I'm already -22.

Have you found a support group nearby?

Wow your doing great!! I've lost 30lbs!! I start my pre-op diet on Oct 18th hope to lose at least 10 more on that but it could be wishful thinking There seems to be a few people out by where I live (Yorkville) that want to start a support group but haven't yet! You know out doctors office has one right?? For me that would be so far away though!!!

When I was there on Wednesday dana told me she will be talking this minth and if I email her that morning she will send me an invite to go online and attend that way. It is far for me too.

I just got my surgery date for 12/2 with Dr. Rosen and Dr. Mikhail, very excited and nervous!

My surgery date is on the same date with the same doctor's ....wow!!!

Haha, maybe we'll be in the same room after

Redilla42, are you are 12/2 or 12/3?

I'm sorry I got excited but its on the 3rd of Dec

Sorry to jump in guys, congrats on your surgery date. I was just curious about your opinion about Lifeweigh in general and how you feel about the surgeons. Overall I have been happy. I just like to get other peoples intake. It's not often you find people that go to the same place and since I am have surgery Nov 1 I would like to know how you guys feel

I like it so far. Most of the staff is great, a couple could be a little bit more people oriented, maybe they were just having a bad day. It was just personality, nothing about the medical professionals, but overall it has been a good experience. Dr. Mikhail is great and I feel very comfortable with him. I haven't met Dr. Rosen yet. If anyone wanted to meet to talk about anything, kinda like our own support group, I am willing. I live in Beverly. You should be starting the pre-op diet soon. You have to let us all know how its going

And please, don't be sorry. We are all on this forum to jump in, talk, and support each other.
