I had the psych eval and it seemed to go well...he told me to go to a support group meeting and call in when i lose the last few pounds. One thing that was a surprise is that he asked to speak to my therapist to ask about:

1. drugs and alcohol

2. eating disorders

3. contraindications to surgery

I am completely fine with it, but didn't expect him to ask. Apparently it's policy if you have seen a therapist in the past 6 months.

For the ladies who have had the surgery--- how long did the tiredness last? I'm 2 lbs away from pre-surgery goal weight and am trying to consider my clients when I schedule the surgery.

I'm still tired and I'm almost 6 weeks out .. Everyone is different

I'm from Watsonville. I'm between MONTEREY n Santa Cruz. I got the sleeve surgery on 01/09/17 my weight on that day was 309 now 274 not much, but over all I was at my highest 335 when I started my visits w Dr Vierra in Aug/16. The weight loss was not hard nor after the surgery. I felt great until the after the 5th day all my staples had to get removed on the fith day because my body was rejecting them. So I had to heal from the inside out n that to a while. I was not cleared to really work out until Feb18,17. I m so proud of your weight loss!!! Wishing u the the best n will keep u in mind. When I go visit my brother in Madera. 🙏🏼💞

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
