Dharriott-I hear mine will only be Protein Shakes and as many apples and bananas I want. I will do whatever the dr says but yours sounds much more pleasing. Lol

Hi everyone! Can any of you share your psych eval experience. I have mines in two days and super anxious and nervous. This is the last step to submit my claim to the insurance. Should I be worried or no. Thanks!

Mirabb2002-my psych eval was my last appt prior to submitting. It lasted all of 10 or 15 min. Her questions were really geared to make sure I didn't have any mental health issues that can hinder the surgery from being successful. No questions out of the ordinary. History if Weightloss attempts. Why surgery. Do I suffer from bulimia. I definitely would not worry about it.

So I just finished all my required tests for clearance. My surgery approved it the day of my first appointment. All I have left us my psych/nutrition appointment on March 12. So I call the surgeon just to make sure that all results were received and she tells me she sees no appointment in the book for March 12. I flipped!! It's a three month wait. I made this appointment back on DECEMBER!! I'm totally pissed. All this work and the quick approval and I still might be waiting 6 months. Makes me want to stuff my face with a cheeseburger.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
