Psychological Evaluation
Ballermom replied to ilmkids's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would say that my evaluation was really easier than I thought. It started with a paper check off list. To determine depression or anxiety and so forth. Then like one poster said mine also ask about my marriage, my childhood, and it was kind of funny that she ask if anyone else was heavy in my family. Well No, no else have this issue in my household, but some immediate ones do. She ask about the support after the hospital and what do you know about the procedure. Mine was soooo simple. Even the paper test was just a few check off , not an elaborate test like some. She did lastly, ask me how sure i was about wanting the surgery. also just be honest. She thought I was an emotional eater and recommended me. You will do fine. Relax. Good luck -
I told my hubby and children more so the older ones. 1 of them has said that I could try other ways to loose the weight. But, I'm not offended because he is a teenager who is fit a plays sports, so he don't really understand. I'm going to keep on this path til sleeved. I'm doing this for me.

I Want To Share With All Of You My New Look!
Ballermom replied to LovingmeForever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First you look beautiful. What an accomplishment. Looking forward to my own journey because of you. Thanks -
Hi Kalimomof3 Thank you sooo much for such good advice! Yep, I won't put this off cause I'm getting more determined to make it happen.. My hubby is supportive but already plan a work event that day before my appointment. I asked him to take vacation when I'm having surgery he said yes. He supported me through a tough knee injury too. At first, I thought this is a way different type of surgery. Major surgery but, it has the commonality of getting Healthy in it. Thanks, I'm a newbie and not tech Savvy but feel Free to add me as a friend. Thanks again for the encouragement

I Can't Wait To Not Have To...
Ballermom replied to BrickHouse's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Caint wait to not Be ask to be a Wedding Planner instead of a Brides Maid especially when the wedding is soon! -
Need advice too anyone My husband is my best support person and only real one right now. My issue I'm pre and will see my Surgeon in December for a surgery date. Im excited to get this close even though surgery may not be til feb or march I'm in the 6 month program. My problem is that, my hubby is schedule out for his job and may not make the appointment in time should I go alone. I'm ok with going alone to the appt. but having him there would be better. I tried rescheduling but the next available Surgeon's appt is in Jan. I'm tired of waiting too. Any positive advice. I love this site and the support
