Went to the first appt with the psych evaluation. The fact is that years ago i tried to commit suicied. and last year i did have some issues, that were stressfull to me. BUT i have gotten the help i needed from therapists! instead of harmful ways of coping i am doing things like, talking to my husband, writign out my feelings on paper and walking. all things that are helpful to me. i am functioning better and and am in a more stable invironment. i have worked things out.

But the psychologist basically wants to hold me back and keep revisiting the past. they dont want me getting my life back. I am trying to move on, after having sought out the help i needed, to get to this point. i put off even starting this process during that time. WHY do they need to put me back there again? I was open and honest. now i feel like maybe i should have just lied to them about myself. yes i have had issues in the past but i dont want my past preventing me from having a future. and they dont care. they told me "well people always start out with the best intentions but people just dont stick to it".

GRR! This is making me angery. I want to be able to run after my kids, and not be in pain all the time. i want to feel better about myself and. i want to be healthy and they wont let me get there. i have tried traditional methods to lose weight and it just doesnt work. :( :angry:

I don't know why these things happen and seem to pull us down, but if you have already confronted those feelings and issues (which I can only imagine are some of the hardest things you have been through), then you are one STRONG woman! You can get through this too. Prayers your way. Keep us posted.

I think i just figured out how to make this work! My depression is a symptom of PCOS.... study's have proven RNY Gastric Bypass can completely reverse PCOS and its symptoms! Between that and therapy, id be completely fine! They have to listen to that. thats fucking medical science on my side....

Megan, you can definitely make this work! Try to stay positive. I had a similar experience with my psych evaluation so I got a 2nd opinion & was approved. Even if they say not now it doesn't mean never. ~Blessings delayed are not blessings denied.~ Praying for you.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
