Hi Jen,

Gosh, that was my question too! Made me crazy.

I am getting my procedure through Tru Results but other places are different.

They asked me about my education then told me about someone my age loosing and keeping off the weight.

Then put me in a room with a 6 page multiple choice questionnaire. Do I hear voices, do I think I am suicidal, do I have ideas that will change the world. Over and over again.

I asked another bandster what hers was like and she similar and gave me the advice not to talk about the shocking things in life or that I am stuck on those shocking issues.

I think you have to think 'bright and positive' in a low key manner when you take the test, if that makes sense. We are sane enough to keep things in perspective and move forward.

We are all different but that is my suggestion.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
