Psych eval tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Ok so tomorrow is the Big day!! Well 1 of many lol. I told my boss if I don't come back they put me in a white coat and locked me up lol.

I'm not too worried about it now, the Hosp called and said I would talk to the Psych for 15-30 min then take a test 150 questions. Now that I kinda know what I will be doing I'm not worried, its the unknown that gets me

Anyway haven't been on lately just trying to keep my bp down for PCP today and wanted to write and chat. So to all that read this have a great Monday and if your getting surgery today...YOU WILL DO GREAT!!

My psych eval was a face-to-face interview for about 20 minutes. She was mostly concerned about eating disorders and family history of eating disorders and obesity. She asked about who would be supportive and who would discouraging and did I feel emotionally strong enough to stand my ground in the face of resistance.

We talked about my willingness to follow my team's direction, and the pre-op and post-op diet process. She asked about why I wanted the surgery and what success or failures I had before deciding on surgery.

All in all, it was painless and I was approved with any trouble. I just had a two-year follow-up interview last week, and she mostly was concerned about the same things: compliance and results to date. Again, about 20 minutes.

My psych eval was 5 min, he asked me a few questions. Talked to me about the surgery and sent me on my way.

Wow! Your evals were quick! Mine was at least an hour. I gave a lot of info about weight history which has been pretty up and down over the years so maybe that's why.

      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.
