She just did a basic physical exam and talked to me about options. It was a light appt.

I love these. I actually call them my "softie bras" and I sleep in them every night.

Wow! What a nice lady!

I'd go with fake procedure. My fake procedure is going to be a hernia repair. At work, I am the only female, so I'm going to say it is lady business related. That'll shut em up real quick. : )

Hi All! I passed my psych eval! It was a lot more in depth than I expected. I'm glad it's over!

I'm with ya! I am scheduled for September 5th!

Mine was an hour. When do you plan to tell your hubs? When I told mine, I introduced it by saying "Hey, can we talk? I've been thinking about WLS for a long time and I think I would like to do it. How would you feel about that?" He was amazing. Why haven't you brought it up? Are you scared of what he would say?

He askied about: Drinking. They want to make sure that you don't over indulge regularly because you shouldn't drink for 6-12 months after surgery. Why did I decide I wanted the surgery. Have I tried to lose weight other ways first. Support system: Who did I tell? What was their reaction? Do I have anybody in my life who I think will be jealous after surgery. My history of being overweight. Was an overweight child/young adult? Family history of obesity? My childhood- what was it like? My relationship with my mother/father/siblings. My relationship in my currently family- husband kids. If I had a history of depression or eating disorders. (lots of questions about that) My relationship w food. Do I bing eat? Emotional eating. What exercise I get now, and what my plans are after surgery. There were also questions about how I sleep. I hope this helps.
