Getting super anxious...



Recommended Posts

Hey all!

I just had my last 6 month supervised diet appointment, now all that's left is my pysch evaluation next week. Cross your fingers for an APPROVAL for me. I'm almost sick to my stomach. All I want to hear is a surgery date to get this journey started. Anyone else near the same stage in this game as me? Would love to pick your brain and see how you're feeling too.

Hello there! My last 6-month supervised program appointment is the end of the month. I've completed all testing, including my psych eval today which he said I passed with flying colors. I have a pre-authorization phone appointment next Friday. I'm not sure the authorization process will take, but everything has moved so fast thus far. I am not nervous, but like you I want a date and to get started. Its funny - I thought the psych eval was going to be cheesy, but when I left I thought it was one of the most profound parts of the process thus far. It feels kind of surreal.

I pray for your approval!! Good luck.

      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.
