You can fail, but you won't. They're looking for you to be appropriately dressed and groomed. They want to make sure you're aware of the potential outcomes, that no one is coercing you into it and that you are basically a functioning adult.

Wasn't a big deal for me and now I know a good therapist if I need one.

About 30 minutes. The huge surveys are par for the course when seeing a new mental health provider.

They want you to be as stable as possible when you go through this because it's a huge change. I have severe depression and a history of eating disorders, but since it's all controlled, I was good.

My appointment was 1hour or so. I didn't have a questionnaire. However, i did have a profile document and medical history document to fill out. Mine was more of an open discussion on background, relationship with food, my support base, what I expect, etc.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
