I was just curious about everyone else experiences with nutrition class and one on one consultation with the dietician. What about the psych eval!?

What your referring to as the nutrition class we called it Life Skills Workshop, it was for 3 hours for 3 weeks and was basic education, most stuff I had already known.

Dietitian / Nutritionist is very helpful, I've seen her for going on 6 months and she helps a lot. We go over what I've ate and the exercise I'm doing and have a weigh in.

The physc eval was a breeze. Nothing to worry about.

Basic questions on why I want surgery, and knowing all the pros and cons, ect. That its a tool we have to use, its not doing the work on its own.

Don't worry. Its all very helpful in this long journey!

Wow. You had a NUT class for three weeks? I only got 1 class and 1 one-on-one. That was it. Almost Everything about nutrition I've learned from here and in some other groups.

I know right...i only have to go to the class next wednesday then ill have my one on one.

I just have the one nutrition class which takes care of that requirement for me. As for my psych eval, it was about 45 minutes of chatting with a psychologist about why I want to have the surgery and making sure I was well aware of what was going to be done to my body and what my expectations and behavioral changes after surgery would be.

I had one 2 hour class that included a 15 minute nutrition component. Then I had a 30 minute appt w/ the nurse, 30 minute w/ NUT, & the psych was literally 10 minutes. The place I'm having surgery at seems like a mill-everything very regimented. Not a lot of time for questions.

I had a pre op nutrition class, a one on one nutrition evaluation, a one on one exercise eval, a 2 hour psych eval and a 2 hour long post op nutrition class. Very comprehensive care. A bit of a pain at times, but at the end of the day, worth it.

I had two psych evaluations that's just because im bipolar and the dr wanted to be sure I was ready

They basically just want to make sure you dont have eating disorders. Trying to binge eat after surgery could kill you, as could trying to be anorexic or bulimic
