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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
