How long did it usually take you guys to get your results? It's only been 3 days and I'm already nervous as heck. I was going to wait at least a week before calling the bariatric clinic to see if they have my results yet but... yeah... nervous.

It’s takes a little while. They have to transcribe everything and make it all official so it can go to the insurance. Some doctors don’t have anyone on staff to do that and they have to send it out so to speak. Mine was over a week.

Do you have another appointment at the clinic, dietician... Doctor...? If so, you have your answer. Fairly certain if you've had your evaluation and they didn't tell you there were questions or wanted to schedule another psych evaluation you're good.

I never received "results"... the hoops just continued..

That’s true. They may not call just to tell you. The only reason I asked about it was becausr they didn’t think I needed to do it for a revision at first but it turned out that I needed it and I already had surgery scheduled so i had to get it to them quickly so I followed up to make sure the Psyc’s office sent it.

I do have another appointment on the 30th with bariatrics. Im seeing the nurse and nurse practitioner and Im seeing the nutritionist right afterwards. It's supposed to be the last appointment before my surgery and then I have to see my surgeon once a year after that and the nutritionist/physical therapist once every few months I believe?

I hope I don't have to wait until the 30th for my results. I had my appointment last Wednesday so I'll try calling them Wednesday afternoon and see if they have an update for me or an approximation of when the results will be in.

I'm confused as to what "results" you're expecting? If you've had your psychological evaluation appointment and they've not called you to tell you that they need to postpone or cancel your appointments OR schedule more psychological sessions before you can progress afterwards you basically have your results - you're still in the program and are still going through the insurance required hoops. Am I missing something, or reading your question incorrectly?

I'm fairly certain at the time of your evaluation the psychologist/ counselor would have told you that you weren't ready for the surgery or you couldn't move on to the next step! Everyone I know who couldn't go to the next steps was told they'd require a "few more therapy sessions" before they could have the surgery at the time of their original session. I wouldn't worry about your "results" but, if you are call them and ask!

I agree. I never got any results as such from my psych eval, it was a step on the way to the surgery.

You could always ring to reconfirm your appointments for later this month and as a by the by ask if the psych step is now complete, that might put your mind at ease.

Yea, maybe just ask if they got your clearance yet instead of asking Did I pass?

What is Wednesday? Your follow up appointment?? If you have an appointment Wednesday and you can stand waiting you could call earlier, but you really should find out about it at your appointment If not you can just say “you got my psyc clearance, right??” And see what they say. Just make it about your concern they didn’t send the paperwork and not your concern that you didn’t pass. Honestly I think you did though. I can’t imagine that a psychiatrist would leave the surgeon to be the one to break the news to you that you didn’t pass this time. They know that they are better qualified to help you get through it if it is upsetting to you and it would be for many of us, once we make up our minds to do this we want it now. But you already know that if you didn’t pass YET, that it is just a delay. Try to focus on that for now. It may be one more hurdle but you are still on your journey to get your surgery.

No my followup is on the 30th. Wednesday is just a week after I had my psych eval. I called the bariatric clinic Monday they said it takes at least a week for the results and to call back Wednesday and they should have the results then. So tomorrow hopefully I should know how the appointment went.

Oh good. I really do think you will be fine but if not don’t let it get you discouraged, Just do what they ask you to do and you will get there soon enough. One step at a time.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
