and so it officially begins :)

Jan 2nd I have my first appointment with the dietitian and nutritionist. So my six month supervised diet starts. On the 9th , my psych evaluation. On the 29th my first visit with my surgeon. Was anyone else really nervous and excited and scared all at once about every little step?

Oh yeah! I was both nervous and excited at the beginning, then more frustrated by the end of 8 months of appointments. A little advice... Be careful what you tell the psychologist at the psych eval. I was very honest and he wanted me to see him once a week for 2 months before he cleared me. I went for 3 more visits, then told him I wanted him to submit all my paperwork. Another month of that would have been a crazy waste of time and money. I had to convince him to pass me through. That part was frustrating!

Good Luck!!!

Thank you both. I'm goad I'm not the only one. And ive been reading a lot of post about the psych evaluation so I hope I say the right thing like "yes I love my fat body" and " no I don't. Think I'm anorexic" :)

Welcome

The thing is when I did my psych appt they didn't ask me anything out of the ordinary. They did want to know if I was ready to lose the weight if I could keep it off if I had any OCD's that would hinder my losing weight and was done over a video conference. Just answer their questions the best you can and don't sweat the small stuff.

You will do just fine. The waiting game is the hard part
