Psych evaluation today!



Recommended Posts

A couple months ago I was wondering if I'd be referred to bariatrics... and today I'm nearly at the last step. I'm looking forward and excited about the evaluation. Idk if that's odd. But I am. Also, I am 2.5 lbs below goal weight for surgery :) woo hoo!

She went over a 40 question sheet I filled out prior and a quiz I was given to take home after my meet with the surgeon. She gave me advice about some topics such as stress management and eating. She was very informative. She said I'm clear at the end. By the time I went to her office and came out was less than 15 minutes!

The questionnaire was about your current/past mental health, eating habits, support systems, relationships and drug/alcohol abuse (if applicable). Then she/he goes over based on your answers.

      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.
