So I'm sitting I'm sitting here waiting for my psychological evaluation to begin. I was so stressed out about this that I arrive at the office 2 hours early. This is nuts. I can't believe I got mixed up that way. I guess I'm just glad it wasn't 2 hours later because then I would have had to reschedule and probably postpone the process. This is driving me nuts lol. I just hope that I don't find out I'm crazy lol just venting thanks for reading. I will update you guys after the psychological evaluation :)

Today was my second psych appt of four. I took the mmpi which is a 575 question personality test. I answered honestly for the most part. Its nerve wrecking not knowing the results. Next week I go back for the qpi (some other test) and the week after I go back to talk about my results. Didn't know it took four appointmenrs for this. My patient advocate said all psychs are different. I just wanna know my results already!!!! Come on give me the green light lol

Wow that sounds like a really thorough eval! I'll count my blessing that I only had to have one psych appt. Hopefully I pass it ;)

I actually wound up getting frustrated and fed up with the "psych" part of surgery. My psych wanted me to come 4 additional times. I went 2 more times and told him that it was a waste of my time and money and I felt like it was a racket scheme for RYN patients. They wanted me to come back after surgery, too, but I canceled that appointment right after surgery. At $177 each visit... No thank you!

Wow I hope I don't have 4 visits or 3, or 2. I have to drive 2.5 hrs for mine in a couple of weeks. I haven't even done it and I'm already annoyed with it. Lol

Jessica. can't wait to start this journey.

Psych is one thing I was scared of prior to surgery but it goes easy. They just want to make sure you habe someone to support you and that you are not anorexic, bulimic or a binge eater

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
