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).

      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.
