Psychological evaluation



Recommended Posts

So I had my evaluation this morning! I was open and honest. The interviewer said he would recommend me but he doesn't have the final say. It will go to a supervisor and I will know within a week or 2 what their recommendation will be! I will be on pins and needles the entire time I think!!!!

@@KGee88 the only thing that has got me worried is he asked about suicidal thoughts. I didn't want to lie so I told him yes but it had been years since it even crossed my mind. Then he asked about did I make a plan & I told no I didn't make a plan.

To be honest if I truly wanted to go that route I wouldn't be trying to get WLS! I have the means but I got too much to live for. Too many goals not to mention grandbabies!

I think you will be OK. It seemed (to me at least) that they wanted to make sure you were making an informed decision and that you were ready for the ups and downs.

I know I surprised my doc when he came back with my eval.

He went over everything and asked me what I thought. I told him it was pretty spot on (I think he was expecting some push back, lol).

      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!
