Recommended Posts

Today I have my final psych appointment I had to do 2. First was for the test, this one is to go over the test. Then I go to meet the surgeon. Getting excited but how much more do I have to look forward to once I meet the surgeon?? I know I have to do a ekg and other test before we send in for approval to blueshield. But for those already thru this stage how long did it take? Thanks

I am so there with you! I have only my psyche test to do and then I too have completed all the checkoffs required. So excited to get a surgery date soon. Good luck to you!

Good luck to you! I hit a bump. The psychologist said I failed the questionnaire. I was to scared to answer the questions about stress or depression and they said that I was not in touch with my emotions and wouldn't be ready to make a life style change. Luckily the lady said after talking with me face to face she didn't believe it was true so she is having me retake the test. Only bummer is I have to wait for approval frm ins. And and take another 2 hr test. But o well just trying to stay encouraged.

A Test!!! Good Lord - Have hated tests since High School - Can we do extra curricular activities to bring up our grade - LOL!! Use to do that in High School because I didn't test well. I have my Psych Eval on Wednesday 9/28 - My husband says for what - I can tell them your crazy... I saw somone posted about having BCBS (Nebraska) I am BCBS Delaware - All joking aside - I think mine is a 1 hour session as well - Crazy how alot of things are done differently from state to state and doctor to doctor as well as insurance to insurance.. Take Care everyone!!

      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.
