Psych Eval 2 -- Now It's a Waiting Game



Recommended Posts

I just got back from my 2nd psych eval. The doc said that he didn't see anything that should keep me from having the surgery. I told him that since I have 5 referrals left to go and see him within 1 year that I would like to use those if they are needed. I think he was happy I said that considering he said he was going to mention that himself. I have no problems in going to see him if I need it. I know from experience that if I let my emotions dictate how I act then there will be some serious consequences come post op. I'm determined not to let that happen. My hubby was also able to speak with the doc before I went in and he said that the doc just explained to him the help and support I'm going to need from him come post op. I'm so happy that he is on board. He's never really come out and said it but I can tell from his actions that he is. He has told me he would support me but it's nice to see that he actually is. I also called the Bariatric Coordinator to see if I could schedule my appointments with the surgeon but I have to wait for her to contact me. I hate waiting. When it comes to things like this I'm not a real patient person. I want to make my appointment now! :thumbup: Ok that's enough of my 2 yr old tantrum. :blink: Hopefully she'll contact me soon so I can schedule them. So far everything has been going fairly quickly. I would hate for it to come to a screeching halt because of this.

      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.

        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!
