Easiest psych clearance!



Recommended Posts

Hahaha....yep, I had the joy after my psych clearance of being able to tell my husband and teenagers, "Ha! I'm NOT crazy....I've been tested!" Phew

Wow you are lucky...I probably spent 20 minutes talking to the doctor but I also had to go through a 600+ questionnaire!

I am not sure why everyone stresses about seeing the physcologist but we do. Then we find out it was no big thing and we worried for nothing.

LOL.....Glad things went well for you!

I was charged $175 and didn't get my money's worth. lol Most of the time I felt like I was the shrink and he was on the couch. He talked about his upcoming knee surgery (the topic was surgery) for 20 minutes and the rehab he'll do for it. lol I didn't really care, he did send the report to my surgeon immediately although they misplaced it and we had to hunt him down during his recuperation to tell the nurse where copies of my report were.

My therapist said that I used all the right verbiage and that I'm so positive!! And after showing pics of my 6 year old who is so adorable by the way she sent me on my way!! But I must credit not just the research I've being doing but even the things I'm learning on here made me well prepared????

Yes...600!!! She sat with me and asked me some questions and then I was taken to a different room where I had to take a 600 question written test. The kind you take in school where you fill in the bubble...lol

I was definitely nervous about my appointment, but I filled out all the paperwork and answered all the questions she asked and it turns out I'm perfectly sane (and mentally prepared for my revision)

All that stressing for nothing!

        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
