I just had my psych appointment last Saturday!! Pretty much the pysch doctor asked about my current eating patterns, all previous diets/attempts at weight loss, he asked about my self-image issues, how long I've been considering getting surgery (I'm 24 years old and I've found people think I've just jumped the gun on it.. I've been looking into it since I was 16.) The questionnaire was all on the computer. At the end, he read me the letter he was sending over to the doctor which was awesome because he recommended with no reservation that I have the gastric bypass surgery!!

Questions about binge eating.
Food addiction.
History of addiction or alcoholism.
Questions about my emotions.
It was pretty painless.
Took like 10-15 minutes.

Ok, so all that test includes are the same questions just asked in a different manner. You will identify the "crazy" questions. Mine asked me about my religious beliefs, my spirituality, which I thought was interesting. The only one I was questioned on was when it asked me if I felt like I was a failure to my children. I answered yes and she wanted to know why. I expressed that I was injured when my son was 11 and it took years to overcome that injury. I lost time with him and in that I felt like a failure. I guess she was worried I was depressed. I honestly think that every parent feels like they've failed their children at some point.

      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.
