Psy Eval Wed

[cassandramontes 112]

Hey everyone,

I am new to the forum and I just wanted to say hello. I will be having my surgery in June and I wanted to know if it was someone in my area that will be getting the surgery soon. I have my Psy Evaluation Wednesday and I think after that I have to have an upper GI and that is it. I am super excited about having this procedure.

Thanks. I have been talking to a lot of people and you hear so many say don't get it it doesn't work and I find that hard to be true. going through this site I see many of people with success with the band. How has your journey been so far? Did you find it difficult at the start?

Hi! I got my band in July 2012 and have lost only 20 lbs. There are some successes and failures but I don't regret it. I'm learning to journey at my own pace and do the best I can. Good luck!

I am doing great. First I am older, was 61 1/2 at the surgery and have been over weight most of my adult life. The Band was the best thing I ever did. I have had 3 fills for a total of about 2 1/2 cc. I try to go to the gym 4-6 times a week. I am losing each month and lots of inches. Some people lose faster than others. One thing I never did was take before measurements and before pictures.

Thanks for responding. I understand what you mean. Everyone is different. I am going to exercise and follow the doctors instructions to a T as well as keep up with my fills. I hear that is very important on order to keep the hunger under control.

Thanks for responding. That is one thing I plan to do is become more active. I am a school teacher so when school starts back I am going to make it a habit to get out there with my students and run around. 75lbs is great !! Continued success

I see you had 300 questions. Some one else said they had over 300. I was verbally asked questions and never wrote anything down. Weird how every doctor/hospital does everything different. Glad you're done with that.

[cassandramontes 112]

Yes it was actually 344. Seem like it went on for ever lol
