I think every program and insurance has different requirements. Some people have to take an MMPI ...I didn't.

I didn't have a questionnaire to fill out. The lady ask me question one on one,and I simply answer them. I was asked about the reason why I want to have WLS,and if anyone was forcing me. If my hubby is complaining. Family history,and such. Basically to see if I was nuts or something. Like some people have spouse that are like always telling them to lose weight or they leaving them,and such so she wanted to make sure that wasn't the case. So I did well and she said she approve of me having WLS cuz I have all the good reasons for having it done. I was there for about 20/30 minutes

I had two appts. a month apart..about an hour each. Talked to the shrink about my motives, etc. She also gave me resources for post surgery...mine was no biggie.

Thanks everyone! I was just wondering what to expect. I'm getting butterflies as this is really nearing the end and I just want everything to go smoothly and get my approval!

Thanks girl.... when I first started here I was inspire by everyone. There motivation & such. Now I feel like I'm sorta loney. Only once in a while I do see the older group like the one that is 1 year post up. I wonder if ppl forgot what it was like to be fat. I haven't... I want to be around forever,and encourage others not to give up,and remain around,and help others. We need to keep each other motivated. I have issues with marriage not weight lmbo so I'm always around,but hey I'm here. I want to be a success and say hey it's 2-3-4-5-6-7-20 years & still tiny so if I did it so can you.

Mami you're right! I NEVER want to forget, it'll be my motivation for not going back! I'm definitely glad I found this site, it helps to have people who can understand what you're going through. I'm sorry about the marital troubles, make sure you're taking care of yourself and not dealing with less than you deserve!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
