I don't remember certain questions but they want to make sure you aren't suicidal and you're having this surgery for the right reasons (so that they don't believe you'll become anorexic post op)

besides talking to the Psych person you will take a large test, Just answer the questions truthfully but be careful seems they throw a couple in that are kinda trick questions so read them carefully and answer with your best answer and you should be fine.

I didn't have to take a test- do it varies from psych to psych. Just be honest and you will be fine

The test i did was like 589 questions. Like if your suicidal or like to commit felonies or arson and in the test also is like a personality test like if your a team person or like doing stuff alone. Sees if your like a leader or a follower and some that were way out there to see if your a sociopath

I was with my psych for 20m, he asked things like.. if I cried that week, if I thought about suicide, If I hid my eating, if I purged, then asked if I had thought about surgery for more or less than 2 years. My doc was a weirdo though, he was 35m late for appt, then was more concerned about his dogs in doggie day camp with the webcam, then talking to me about the surgery. Then when I paid his $170 fee, he took out his wallet and put it in, right in front of me. Very different experience. LOL

      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!
