Meeting with Dr, George Fie;lding on July 8th, and will be sceduling surgery from there. Everything is done except for my psych appointment, which I am just waiting for Dr. Huberman to call me back to schedule it. Cannot wait...I have been as high as 376 and as low as 276 in the last 12 years, been overweight my entire life...this is a blessing and I intend to stick with it the rest of my life. Look forward to talking on here and hearing success stories along with sharing my own. I look forward to Dr. Fielding doing my surgery as I know at least 5 people that have had it done through him.

Steve - study hard for that psych eval :rolleyes2: - kidding! I was a little freaked out to start with - never had to have someone get inside my head before - but Dr. Sabapathy was been soooo helpful! I've seen the dietician - but he's helped on so many of my questions. Make sure you ask lots of questions.

Welcome Steve. From a fellow Hudson Valley-ite. I lived in the newburgh area for years, now outside Poughkeepsie

Hi Steve - I am having the surgery w/ Dr Ren. I am doing the obligatory 6 months. I am even TRYING to lose weight and not managing it. I am hoping to have the surgery in october. I did the psych eval - they seem to be looking to ensure you a) really want this :tongue2: have not agenda's in doing the surgery c) they were looking for eating disorders like bulimia d) asked about binging e) asked how much the weight interferes w/ all aspects of life. I can't wait - i feel like my life is on hold at this point.

Hi Steve!! good luck.. also from Hudson Valley...Psych eval is nothing it's the info the tell you about your self that makes you go HHMMM... only kidding.. lots of luck on your journey...:tongue2:
