HI..I AM REALLY NERVOUSE I AS I HAVE MY INITIAL CONSULT WITH THE SURGEION TOMORROW MORNING. I HAVE REALLY DONE MY RESEARCH. THIS SITE HAS HELPED ME A LOT . NOT ONLY GETTING READING OTHERS POST, SUCCESS STORIES, BUT A LOT OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME QUESTIONS I'VE HAD, BUT MORE GUTS TO POST AND ASK THEM :unsure: I AM REALLY NERVOUSE, AS I WOULD HATE TO GO TO MORROW AND NOT QUIALIFY OR HAVE MY INS CO GIVE ME B.S ABOUT NOT AUTHORIZING MY SURGERY.

I HAVE UNITED HEALTHCARE, I DON'T HAVE A PCP. ALTHOUGH A REFERRAL IS NOT REQUIRED. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I WILL HAVE TO DO A 3-6 MONTH DIET REGIMEN OR WILL BEING OVERWEIGHT FOR ALL MY LIFE BE ENOUGH? HAVING DEPRESSION, PCO AND PRE-DIABETES ENOUGH?

I ALSO HAVE MY PSYCH EVAL FOR TUESDAY..WHAT IS HE GOING TO ASK ME? ARE THERE ANY WRONG ANSWERS? ANYTHING I SHOULD AVOID MENTIONING...?

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK, THANK YOU!

Hi and welcome,

Try not worry as everything is baby steps. This is a great site to ask anything 99% of the people are very nice here. I had my op on Monday the 25th of July. As for Psych testing they will ask you why you want this op. If you have tried to loose weight before. If married or dating how they feel about you getting the op. Can you afford this op and will you really work with as a tool. Have you dieted have you tried other was to loose weight. How do you feel being over weight how will you feel once you loose weight, Those are some of the question's I was asked.

Please know that they ask these questions to see if you are ready for this,

Please let me know how you make out. Good luck,

Mary

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
