All day tests and classes!



Recommended Posts

So I called and scheduled my psych evaluation the same day as my 4 hour "class" with the nutritionist and I was shocked to find out the psych would take 3 hours!! Apparently there's even a written test???

Oh goodness! I didn't get told a time for my classes or appointments, but they did want to do everything in 1 day. That day is February 17! I thought me having to wait 2 months for surgery was going to be torture.. how are you dealing with the wait??

Well, by the time I get everything done and have my physician monitored weight loss appts as required by insurance, it'll be 6 months that I've had to wait. So I'm just muddling along with all my other stuff. Shooting for a summer surgery date!

I have to see my pcp Monday to start my 6 mo supervised again because, even though I had it done, it has to be consecutive months and mine wasn't. I'm also scheduled for a sleep study on Feb 3.

I'm considering have my tires balanced and rotated while I'm at it LOL

Well, I'm done with my 6 months doctor approved whatever. I was just approved a few days ago for the surgery but I still have all these appointments to go to before we can schedule surgery. The date I want is tentative. :)

The test at the psych eval for me at least was a personality test that was a bajillion questions. Just a heads up maybe it's the same thing for you!

This is how mine was too and was only allowed like 2 hours to finish everything. Then I talked with the psychiatrist, well the intern, for an hour.

        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
