psych- he asked me nice questions about my life ,eating habits, family history, weight goals, things i wanted to accomplish but couldnt because of the weight, past weight loss attemps etc............nutritionist-pretty much the same thing. both were very easy to talk to. theyre just trying to make sure youre mentally stable enough and have realistic expections for weight loss. good luck!

I have my exercise physiological assessment tomorrow. I'm excited. I work out all the time (despite being over weight, cause i like to eat) so I think I'll pass with flying colors. My psych evaluation is Monday. Thx Pink Dahlia for the info!

I didn't have a nutrition test, just a consult. The psych consult was ok. They basically make sure you do.t suffer from depression, you are doing this for the right reasons. They asked me if I ever used drugs or alcohol? If there were alcoholics in my family? Did I have a happy childhood? Then the computerized test was a hoot! Do I hear voices? If so do I do what they say? Do I believe in God? Do I base my routing on what God tells me? They ask you the same question a million different ways. Don't go in nervous, its really easy!

Mine was an endless test of 370 questions. My hand got so tired bubbling in the answer sheet that my daughter had to finish it for me. They kept asking the same questions over and over in slightly different ways. Then there was a phone interview a few weeks later. I passed, so there was no problem!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
