I had the psych eval and it seemed to go well...he told me to go to a support group meeting and call in when i lose the last few pounds. One thing that was a surprise is that he asked to speak to my therapist to ask about:

1. drugs and alcohol

2. eating disorders

3. contraindications to surgery

I am completely fine with it, but didn't expect him to ask. Apparently it's policy if you have seen a therapist in the past 6 months.

For the ladies who have had the surgery--- how long did the tiredness last? I'm 2 lbs away from pre-surgery goal weight and am trying to consider my clients when I schedule the surgery.

I'm still tired and I'm almost 6 weeks out .. Everyone is different

I'm from Watsonville. I'm between MONTEREY n Santa Cruz. I got the sleeve surgery on 01/09/17 my weight on that day was 309 now 274 not much, but over all I was at my highest 335 when I started my visits w Dr Vierra in Aug/16. The weight loss was not hard nor after the surgery. I felt great until the after the 5th day all my staples had to get removed on the fith day because my body was rejecting them. So I had to heal from the inside out n that to a while. I was not cleared to really work out until Feb18,17. I m so proud of your weight loss!!! Wishing u the the best n will keep u in mind. When I go visit my brother in Madera. 🙏🏼💞

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
