Hi! My name is Nichole, I'm 21. I'm from the northwest Indiana area, I'm seeing surgeon Dr. Stanich from Methodist Hospital (anyone seeing him?) I don't have a date to do my surgery yet, I'm so excited to get mine though! He is currently making me due a diet of high Protein and low carbs. It's only been 3 days, but so far I think I've lost a few pounds. I know he has me on his diet due to my poor eating habits and bingeing.
I see him in a month. They said I have to go through a psychological exam and some other tests. I see a pyschiatrist every month (I am bipolar and have anxiety issues) do you think I can get a letter from my pyschiatrist, approving my surgery, than going through the exam?
Also what types of tests do you go through before the operation? Like bloodwork or x-rays?
Any to all of you who read this and have had the procedure, when was your surgery and how much have you lost?
Sorry this is so long!! But I thank everyone who replies and helps me out with this!!!! :redface:
