Got my date for orientation -- which includes a 1.5 to 2-hour psych eval, including a written test and an interview -- a little freaky, wondering what in the world they might ask on a test or in an interview -- what would 'disqualify' you? If anyone hasn't passed, what did they say about why not? I can't imagine anything that would disqualify me, lol, but a little (okay, a LOT...) stressful, just thinking about it and not having a clue what it will be like -- thoughts, experiences? thanks!!

You will do fine, I've heard of people taking this 100 word test and saying it was nothing. I did my psych eval and it raw s only about 45 min long and I was approved that day

Mine was a computer based test. Really easy questions. Basically the test is making sure you're not crazy.

And then the interview is really basic. Why you're getting the surgery, and why you got to weight you're at (binge eating, or snacking). And how you can cope with eating in the future. You'll do fine.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
