So my refferal just went threw to see the psychologist :rolleyes: !! ahh i hate having to wait for the docs to send the refferals in to tri care then wait for tri care to approve them then have to wait for that docs office to give me a call seems like a eternity! Im so impatient i guess thats my down fall but after the psychologist all i have to do is see the nutritionist. I wanna get everything done and over with so i can start my new life skinny and healthy.

On another note i have a question what does the psychologist ask you? I mean i don't know why we have to go to one? I think its gonna be a waste of my time.I have a problem with people telling me "how do you feel about that " makes me angry :angry: like just because you read some book doesnt mean you know me. Idk maybe thats just me

My psy. evaluation was totally not what I expected. They just want to make sure you have reasonable expitations of what this surgery is and that it is not the only tool for successful weight loss. It is a combination of surgery, proper nutrition, and exercise.

I asked my psy. evaluator what do they look for to deny people. She said she denied one woman who came in with her hubby who was in total control of her and she was not doing it for her but she was doing it for him and she denied her. She also told me of a boy that was 16 who was very overweight who came in with his mother, his mom was calling him fat and lazy etc., she said the poor kid just sat there. She denied him the surgery as well because he was there for his mom and not for him self.

Each evaluator is different but in general they are looking for YOU having a total understanding of nutrition and expitations of the surgery.

My visit was just going over what surgery I was going to have and he asked if I knew what kind of diet I had to maintain for my life . Then he asked me if I had any worries. He then told me most women had problems with their breast size after the surgery. Had to laugh because that came out of a mans mouth hahahahaha

I just had my eval on Tuesday it was fine but a little weird asked funny questions like do you hear evil spirits ? And do you read the newspaper? And if you do is it only the comic section? Lol but I have to wait till the 29 th for my last appointment with the nutritionist which it took her 3 weeks to call me and now I have to wait another 2 weeks :-(

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
