Well I had my psych eval yesterday and I was suprised at how well it went. The doc that I had was so down to earth and friendly that we chatted like we were old friends!! When we got done talking she turned to me and said "I think you make an excellent candidate for this surgery." I was so exstatic I wanted to jump over and hug her!!! Well that piece is behind me and now I go to see the doc that will be doing the surgery on Monday. I am just so happy that things are moving so quickly!!! With any kind of luck I will be able to get banded by the end of this year!!!:) :) :D

I had my psych eval last week and I too was surprised how well it went. It was just very time consuming. I didn't get any feedback though as to how it went. He just said that he has a new way of analyzing the results and he should have

be able to get the results to the surgeon in a couple of days. Prior to his "new way" it was taking him 2-3 weeks. I think I am going to call my surgeon tomorrow to see if he's received the results yet. Don't mean to bother him but I want to stay on top of things. My initial consult with the surgeon is Oct. 2. I am so ready for this surgery!! I really want the new year to start with the band in place!!

pysch eval,

Are you having your surgery in the States? Is insurance covering this?

Just curious... It takes longer to get help in the States

Good luck with everything

Hey Pattiliss - actually yes I am getting it done in the states and yes my insurance is covering it. Actually, each person varies as to the length of time it takes to get the surgery approved. I have learned that. I go for my second appointment to see the doc that will be doing the surgery and if all my results are good I will have my surgery date when I leave tomorrow!!! I actuality it hasn't taken me anywhere near as long as I thought it would have. I just started at the end of August and although it did take me a few weeks to get into the doctor everything else has been smooth sailing. Honestly, even if I had to wait for another year to have it done it wouldn't matter.........as long as I was getting it done. I hope that helps!!

      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?

      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
