Not sure what really to expect but a little nervous for some reason. I have to go to two separate appts - anyone else have to do this?

Nothing to be nervous about. Only thing about mine was filling out 3 questionaires before the evaluation.

Don't be nervous, they are there to help you. Just be honest with your answers and you'll be fine. I found mine to be very basic. Seems that they just want to make sure you have a good support system and things like that. Relax. :)

It's just finding out what kind of person you are really. The first appt. should be a short interview then the second should be a type of personality test. They really want emotionally stable people undergoing elective surgery instead of people that will have issues post op. Wouldn't worry about it.

Wasn't that bad - asked me questions about my family, background, why I wanted the lap band over the other choices, etc. Easy breezy! Cute little MD too - had to be all of 80!

The psych eval is nothing to be afraid of. They only want to know that you are emotionally stable (no suicidal thoughts or tendancies), have a decent support system and understand the changes you are about to make in your life. Just be yourself, answer the questionnaires honestly (one is 344 questions - mostly the same, just asked different ways) and chit chat a bit with the psychologist and you're good to go.

Good luck!!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

        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.

      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!
