Psych eval was a joke, she passed me easy as can be ... only paperwork I had to fill out was insurance stuff.

She asked me a series of questions, had me count backwards from 100 by 7's. Dunno why but .. *shrugs*

I passed, calling my coordinator now to make my one on one with the surgeon!!

YAY!

Hahahah. Congrats?

I'm insane and still was approved for the band. Don't think they are looking for sanity...just can a patient and will a patient follow doctors orders.

The AMA now consider depression and anxiety disorder as comorbids....go figure!

The counting backwards is cognitive to see if you're able to concentrate well enough to count back :eek:

That's great you passed and that yours was easy! Alot of people didn't have it so easy like my test... I think in total I answered over 1k questions. Horrible and many hours wasted to find out just like you that I was sane.. :)

Mine wasn't long at all. I filled out the insurance paperwork, and that was it. I was head shrunk to make sure I could handle the changes necessary to the surgery and to make sure I am seated in reality.

I pretend well in front of others .. ROFL

Yea! You are giving me hope for tomorrow. I have no clue why the psych evaluation freaks me out but I hope mine is quick and painless. I sure don't want to find out I am not sane!!

Must practice counting backwards by 7. That actually sounds a bit straining!! :)

I just realized after thinking back .. I totally messed up the counting backwards things .. got the first few numbers right ... then it was down hill in a messy way from there ... LOL I think she was just happy I didn't give up >..... ROFL ...

Man I feel math retarded now .... time to break out my trig book to refresh my brain ....

Hell, I'd have had to have a piece of paper and a calculator to count backwards from 100 in 7's. Sheesh! Then again, I'm certifiable, so that just proves it! LOL!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
