Hey everyone! I have my psych eval tomorrow and I'm wondering if any of you have any tips for me. For some reason I'm a little nervous, and I don't really know why.

I was nervous about mine too, but it turned out to be a very positive experience. I filled out a long questionnaire that asked questions on everything about personality, relationships, coping, anger, etc. I then met with the psychologist for about an hour. She evaluated my test answers and we talked about my background, history of weight loss attempts, family/friend support, etc. I hope you have the same kind of experience as I did.

Hi there!!

I just had my Psych Eval done on Friday.

It was so great, I was nervous too!

I thought maybe I wouldn't get clearance, but the Doctor was so friendly, I was totally honest with him. He asked questions, I answered truthfully, and he said ok, great I will print out the report to take with you! Yeah

Good Luck, and keep us updated!

Good NEWS! I was cleared and able to make my final appointment with the surgeon. Now, should I go ahead and schedule a physical with my PCP to include the EKG and blood work that I know will need to be done or do I wait until I'm instructed to do so?

That's great news, Im glad it went well for you!

I think that we just wait until we see our Surgeons, they will tell us where to go, and give orders for labs and EKG. When is your appointment?

It's April 10th. I'm hoping for an early May sleeve date. I don't know if things will work that fast though.

Well, maybe you should call your surgeon's

office and ask them if you should ask your PCP to order the tests, or should you wait until you see the surgeon!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
