Hey Trish. I don't think you will have anything to worry about. Just remember psych. might ask questions about what you know about the band and how it works and how you think it will benefit you.Also has others have said mainly questions on you as a person /childhood/ marriage/weight loss attempts/health problems. I also must say that my psych.was an @$$ and said a few things that I felt were unexceptable about the band but.... I just answered his questions with a smile and figured it would only hurt my evaluation if I got smart back.I DONT THINK HE WAS MUCH ON BAND PROCEDURE Most psych arent there to talk you out of it . They just want to know that you are ready for what your getting into. So my experience just happened to be a little out of the ordinary and I still got a good evaluation and you will too. Nutritionist was excellent!!! She was very helpful and did not talk Diet talk to me at all . She did ask about weight loss attempts and also what to expect before and after band . What to eat what not to eat 1st 2nd and 3rd food stages. We sat and talked a long time about the procedure and she even told me she felt I had made a good decision having the band . She said she has seen so many people have this done and then come back and see her and she could not believe how much they had changed,mentally/physicaly/ and emotionally. It was a very encouraging visit.

#35 pounds in 2 months is still an awsome achievment!!! You should be proud and stop trying to keep up with someone elses weight lose and see that you have done a wonderful job!If you keep a good outlook and don't get in such a hurry and realize this is no race, it is a lifestyle change, you will see that long term you are getting some where!!! Congratulations and give your self a big patt on the back for your sucess!

Leatha Is barium that white chalky stuff? I went yesterday for my upper Gi and that stuff was awful!
