Psychologist



Recommended Posts

So today is the start of my visits to the Team. I am starting with the Psychologist. Not sure what to expect.

Can anyone share some light on this for me?

Never been to a shrink before.

Mine was really sweet. I had to do both a written text and had to talk to her. For me she went over my reason and my goals. She wanted details like when do I think I will be at my goal weight. What do I have to do before, during and after surgery. She also touch a little bit on my support group and what my normal life is like. She was wonderful and if my insurance did not change to one she does not take I would so be back. Good luck and the number one thing I can say about it is don't be in a hurry. Give yourself time. They have to be there all day and I know if I feel rush then I always forget something. On the test be honest. If issue come up you want them to happen now so they can be addressed.

      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!

      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!
