Heck, the psych doesnt ask the questions, they are all on paper and they are multiple choice! I felt like I was in school. They are very stupid questions at that. He told me that I have trust issues especially with men. I forget the other things he told me, it was pointless. Oh yeah, said Im depressed.. YA THINK??!! Ive only been taking effexor for about 5 years now and can cry at the drop of a hat. LOL before I was on effexor, if someone looked at me and said Hi, I would start crying.

OMG! What a complete waste of time. That's ridiculous! And multiple choice questions on a piece of paper......COME ON! I could do one like that on the internet! Was it Dr. Kennel you went to w/ the paper questions? (hoping not.......:regular_smile:)

I wonder how it is going to work.....I had to pay my deductible up front. Does he bill thru CCMH? Im not shelling out another $700-$800 for this crap!

Im not sure how he does the bill I know that someone else handles it. Mine was so messed up and crap it was rediculous. Finally, once I got insurance to pay him, they paid a little over $500 and I had to pay the rest. But one good thing was if I paid it off right then, I got a little discount. Hey, any discount helps. I dont even think that visit was worth $50, its awful. Anyway, have fun LOL

That pysch eval is such a waste! He wasnt worth $700 by far!

Kd, do you go this coming Monday or the next? I go for a fill on the 20th.

I go on the 20th at 12:45. Maybe I'll see you there! I was supposed to have one this past Monday, but I'm flying tomorrow to Arizona and was afraid to get a fill before that. I don't think I've lost anything since my last fill. I am hungry all the time and don't feel much restriction most of the time. So...we'll see.

I saw Dr. Dunn at Health South. That's who Jeannie sent me to. CCMH does nothing with the billing. Dr. Dunn's office did their own billing. My insurance covered about 500 and I had to pay the rest to him. I had approximately 400 multiple choice questions but they were the same questions repeated a hundred different ways. He lays back in his recliner while you sit in a folding chair for 4 hours and fill in bubble question answers. Make sure you stay in the lines!!! :)

The psych they had me go to was Dr.Dunn. Hopefully enough people complained about him that they found another one. Someplace in Marietta delt with his billing.

My appointment is 12:30 Monday. Im the same way, stay hungry, no weight loss. Now I did walk 1/2 a mile on my treadmill today, lol I had to hold my shorts up. Im kind of scared of what he will say to me. I did send an email to Jeannie telling her how upset I was last month and still am over it. We have been playing phone tag since though.. I sit in class and my stomach just growls up a storm. It is so embarressing, I mean here I am the fat girl and my stomach is growling. :)

Has anyone used the Wii Fit for exercise......hubby bought it for us and it kicked my big ole hiney real good. LOL...I'm filling out my exercise logs for everything since Friday evening and trust me, no fat girls should be so full. I have to admit the Wii is more fun than the treadmill or elyptical, and since dh is using it as well we naturaully made it competitive. I only mind his beating me when it doesn't involve me squatting. Since we already had the Wii it wasn't to horrible to add the Wii fit price wise. Not sure how accurate the BMI thing is, but it was real close to what my drs said. Heres hoping this works. Hehehehehe you should see me do the hula hoop one naked LOL

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
