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.

      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.
