Psych appts vary but nothing to worry about.

I took an obnoxious multiple choice test - maybe 35 questions. One was - ' do you ever get in your car in the middle of the night and get fast food?' Wants to know if you have eating disorders, were you sexually abused, do you self-harm, if you are harmed at home, or afraid of anyone at home, do you have support from your family, etc. I was nervous but didn't need to be. I will say there is a ridiculous psych test (MMPI2) out there with over 300 questions that some people have had to take, but not the average appt.

Well what happened to me was that I wanted the sleeve, but i had severe GERD and my esophagus was already hurt because of it, so my Surgeon advised me against it because I most likely would have to get a revision. This was not what I was expecting but I didn't want to risk going through this surgery twice. Today I'm almost two months post op and really happy with my RNY. So you do your research and make your own decision but also listen to your doctor's advice because they know better.

I am new to this and am looking for some support going through this rather difficult time. I am 2 wks post op and I am feeling kind of regretful. I know this is a life altering procedure that I thought I was prepared to handle but I can't seem to get rid of the nausea and the discomfort of the knot that sits below my chest even after just sipping water. Any suggestions?

Hey guy I am soooo HAAAAPPPYY. My neighbors probably don't like me right now because there is a lot of hooting and hollering going on in my house. My 3 yr old is looking at me mad crazy because I was APPPPROVED for my VSG surgery so excited. I have been stalking the insurance company everyday for about 10 business days and final an approval.

Love these nsv! Prior to becoming pregnant, I was in a size 2 jeans. Before surgery: a size 28! Being able to wear a belt was amazing as well. Being able to tuck in a shirt is amazing. Also, being able to go to the doctor with no shame. Stepping on the scales confidently.

Congratulations! That's wonderful! I know you are so happy!!!? I was the same way. I literally had tears of happiness. I felt like I had won the lottery. Sent from my XT1635-01 using BariatricPal mobile app
