Psych eval was a joke, she passed me easy as can be ... only paperwork I had to fill out was insurance stuff.

She asked me a series of questions, had me count backwards from 100 by 7's. Dunno why but .. *shrugs*

I passed, calling my coordinator now to make my one on one with the surgeon!!

YAY!

Hahahah. Congrats?

I'm insane and still was approved for the band. Don't think they are looking for sanity...just can a patient and will a patient follow doctors orders.

The AMA now consider depression and anxiety disorder as comorbids....go figure!

The counting backwards is cognitive to see if you're able to concentrate well enough to count back :eek:

That's great you passed and that yours was easy! Alot of people didn't have it so easy like my test... I think in total I answered over 1k questions. Horrible and many hours wasted to find out just like you that I was sane.. :)

Mine wasn't long at all. I filled out the insurance paperwork, and that was it. I was head shrunk to make sure I could handle the changes necessary to the surgery and to make sure I am seated in reality.

I pretend well in front of others .. ROFL

Yea! You are giving me hope for tomorrow. I have no clue why the psych evaluation freaks me out but I hope mine is quick and painless. I sure don't want to find out I am not sane!!

Must practice counting backwards by 7. That actually sounds a bit straining!! :)

I just realized after thinking back .. I totally messed up the counting backwards things .. got the first few numbers right ... then it was down hill in a messy way from there ... LOL I think she was just happy I didn't give up >..... ROFL ...

Man I feel math retarded now .... time to break out my trig book to refresh my brain ....

Hell, I'd have had to have a piece of paper and a calculator to count backwards from 100 in 7's. Sheesh! Then again, I'm certifiable, so that just proves it! LOL!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
