Hello all! Was just curious to see if you all had received a psych evaluation letter? The assistant of my Dr said we will receive a letter also as they will. I was just wondering if you all had received one by chance?

My psych evaluation said I was fine and looked like a good cantina tell but now that I think about it, what was the tests for...the letter possibly?

I could have received my dr assessment if I wanted it. But I didn't have a need. They need to do a pychological evaluation for the surgeon and insurance purposes.

Yes, I received a copy of my letter, but only because I asked for it. I just wanted it for my records in case anyone dropped the ball with insurance etc. It basically outlined my psych history and how the psychiatrist thinks I will fair in the long term, after surgery. Nothing terribly exciting!

My psych dr told me that I was approved and how he felt about my choice during my appointment. I didn't need a copy. They sent one to my doctor though.

I had my eval today and didn't go home with an approval letter but my physician assistant told me I was approved. I'm sure if I asked for one I can get one being she gives me an office note after each visit

Mine was pretty straight forward. When I met with her, she asked me a lot of questions about my expectations, my history, and she wanted to make sure I was informed about all the pros, cons, risks, etc. But she was very supportive and in the end my letter said I was a good candidate who should benefit from the procedure. And she was right. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
