Mental preparedness class?



Recommended Posts

On a separate day from the pre-op diet class, I am scheduled for a "mental preparedness class".

Wasn't passing the 3-hour psychological evaluation evidence enough I'm mentally prepared?

Seriously, what else is there to talk about?

I've read each of the 5 books recommended twice.

Somehow I think I don't know what I don't know.

Do any of you know?

Three hour class? I remember mine only lasted for 30minutes and she just asked about my family's health and myself as a kid. Im not sure how more prepared you could be if you read five books!

Mine was 20 min of which mostly we talked about the psych's upcoming orthopaedic surgery. Lol. AND was charged $175.

I actually wish I could have a mental preparedness class. I'm sure it's geared for wls patients.

I am curious. What 5 books were recommended for you to read?

      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.

      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!
