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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
