Dharriott-I hear mine will only be Protein Shakes and as many apples and bananas I want. I will do whatever the dr says but yours sounds much more pleasing. Lol

Hi everyone! Can any of you share your psych eval experience. I have mines in two days and super anxious and nervous. This is the last step to submit my claim to the insurance. Should I be worried or no. Thanks!

Mirabb2002-my psych eval was my last appt prior to submitting. It lasted all of 10 or 15 min. Her questions were really geared to make sure I didn't have any mental health issues that can hinder the surgery from being successful. No questions out of the ordinary. History if Weightloss attempts. Why surgery. Do I suffer from bulimia. I definitely would not worry about it.

So I just finished all my required tests for clearance. My surgery approved it the day of my first appointment. All I have left us my psych/nutrition appointment on March 12. So I call the surgeon just to make sure that all results were received and she tells me she sees no appointment in the book for March 12. I flipped!! It's a three month wait. I made this appointment back on DECEMBER!! I'm totally pissed. All this work and the quick approval and I still might be waiting 6 months. Makes me want to stuff my face with a cheeseburger.

      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.
