They want to make sure that you don't over indulge regularly because you shouldn't drink for 6-12 months after surgery. Why did I decide I wanted the surgery. Have I tried to lose weight other ways first. Support system: Who did I tell? What was their reaction? Do I have anybody in my life who I think will be jealous after surgery. My history of being overweight. Was an overweight child/young adult? Family history of obesity? My childhood- what was it like? My relationship with my mother/father/siblings. My relationship in my currently family- husband kids. If I had a history of depression or eating disorders. (lots of questions about that) My relationship w food. Do I bing eat? Emotional eating. What exercise I get now, and what my plans are after surgery. There were also questions about how I sleep. I hope this helps. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My evaluator is herself a bariatric surgery recipient so that puts me at ease. It’s so weird to me that so far the judgment that I perceived would happen hasn’t happened. That being said - I’m super private person. I haven’t even told my husband yet. If I didn’t have to tell anyone I wouldn’t. Ugh! How long was yours? She said it is 2 hours.

When I told mine, I introduced it by saying "Hey, can we talk? I've been thinking about WLS for a long time and I think I would like to do it. How would you feel about that?" He was amazing. Why haven't you brought it up? Are you scared of what he would say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I think he’ll be supportive. It’s my own mental hang-ups. He’s always been normal weight so he doesn’t “get” the struggle. Plus it feels like failure to me. That I couldn’t do it myself and had to resort to surgical help. I just don’t like talking about it. I’m going to have to bring it up soon. I have a pre-op EGD that I’ll need a ride home from. Lol!!! 1 Jingle123423 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had been wondering about the eval; mine is Tuesday. I am excited to have it done and move on. Thanks again. 1 Jingle123423 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
