I got my first appointment! It's for a psych evaluation. What should I expect? I'm so nervous but excited to get the ball moving.

It feels good to be making progress on this journey, doesn't it? Don't stress the psych evaluation. Mine was very simple. I filled out a short questionnaire and then talked to the doctor for about 20 minutes about my health history (physical and mental). It really isn't as scary as it sounds! Just try to enjoy the conversation and the focus on your path to WLS and ultimately, a healthier body.

My psych evaluation was like 300 questions! Weird ones too! I think they just are trying to get a good look at your habits and whatnot. It's nothing too serious though, don't worry. Good luck!

I had mine yesterday, it was mostly just a pleasant conversation touching on my stressors and how I react to them.

I had my psych eval today. They said to be prepared to stay 2 1/2 hours & they were right on! I had to answer a scan tron test of 567 true or false questions, some made me laugh out loud. Had my interview with the Dr. We actually got into more than I had expected about my personal life & stressors. She said it will take 2 weeks to get the results from the test. Oh an another opinion test on weight & body image but not near as long as the first one.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
