Anyone from true results have a psychological test. Or get a Nutritionist(NUT). If so at what point. I'm 3 weeks away from surgery and I haven't heard or been thru half the pre-op steps others have.

I am going through True Results. I had my first appointment (I have 6 month wait) June 16, 2015 and my second appointment was July 16, 2015. I had my second weight loss appointment and psych eval on the same day. I had a 20 minute phone conversation with a nutritionist. Have you talked with your Advocate?

I went to True Results in Plano Monday. I am going to do the hiatal hernia route (or try). I am concerned that I haven't gotten to meet the Dr. What if I don't like him? I requested Nicholson I'm also concerned that you don't have to any of the consults that other Dr.'s require. The nutritionist is now a phone call. Isn't that education and a psychiatrist/psychologist eval a big part of changing our bad behaviors? Don't get me wrong, I like them, just wanted to here your opinions. Also how long should it take to get my actual appt with the surgeon?

I didn't have those services as well. I do believe that's offered only under the WLS. Sense we are getting a hernia removed it wouldn't be a need for a NUT/psychological evel.Thus you have that price. If you read on here further you we see what I'm talking about. They give you a folder with what's need...again keeping that price low and you an opportunity to have your surgery:)

Not sure what you are paying for your program, but I used Dr Kim and he has a Hiatal Program too for $4900. I have a ton of friends who have done this program and are extremely happy. Your very first visit with them involves meeting Dr Kim and meeting with your one and only bariatric coordinator. You only have one person to call for your questions. She will then go over the cash agreement and set up the EGD, Cardiac testing, sleep study and nutrition class. Its a true class with other patients, not a phone call. Cardiac testing is in depth. Dr Kim is very thorough with his patients lives. He truly cares. The staff is very friendly and care about you too. They offer amazing life long after surgery support to help you be successful. Good luck to your journey! :)

      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.
