I go in tomorrow for my meeting with the psychologist has anyone had to do this

Yup...my first meeting with the center I am going to was with Psych. It was nothing really...just a conversation.

So this week I have my first meeting with the nutritionist then a week from today I have an "Immersion Day" where I am at the hospital all day to talk about the whole process, group psych and group nut...should be interesting. Sometimes I can hardly believe I am doing this! I am excited thinking about where I'll be a year from now though...

Hi Shelly...I just went on July 2nd. It was pretty basic. General conversation, but I had like 600 question and answer sheet I had to complete. He said that he can't keep someone from having the surgery...he's just there to make sure that once it's completed that you have the best chance of success.

My surgery attentive date is August 20th. The nurse she would be sending in my paperwork around July 21s. I'm Nervous Because I See My Nutricionist Tomorrow And I've Gained 5 Lbs Since I Saw Her Last. I'm praying this will not b part of what is sent to the insurance. I have federal mdipa United Health care. Any advice or thoughts?

My surgery is scheduled for August 20th. Once I get the approval from my insurance I think I will feel more at ease. The RN said she. Ant send it in till the 21st of july. I'm praying they will approve it. Please keep me in your prayers. I just found out that my diet before surgery is just no carbs. So happy I was worried about doing a liquid diet. All of you are also in my thoughts and prayers.

My surgery is July 25th. Nervous but excited! I was this close before about 2 years ago to my surgery date and then cancelled, but I'm doing it now.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
