Im having weight loss surgery?


I KNOW U HAVE TO GO THREW PSYC EVALUATION, WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN I GO TO MY PSYC EVAL. WHAT QUESTIONS DO THEY ASK?

I had gastric bypass surgery in April 2005. I started out at 268, now I鈥檓 180 and holding, after 1 year and 7 months. These links will help you in many ways to make a decision if this is for you or not. I vote yes, because it made such a difference in my life. I was taking 8 pills a day, and after my surgery, I lost my diabetes. The way they do the surgery, takes your diabetes away. I no longer have to take glucophage, and I no longer have high Cholesterol or high blood pressure. I鈥檓 down to 2 pills a day. I went from a size 26-28 to a 16-18.

Good luck with your surgery and new life!

You would rather risk your life having surgery instead of exercising??? You're crazy!!! Look at the people on the biggest looser, if they can do it so can you!

it's more like they try to prepare you for the major life change you will experience. If you don't know who you are now, you aren't going to know when you lose all the weight either. The huge change will just complicate your emotional issues, and they want to be sure you are prepared for that possibility. If you suffer with clinical depression now, you will still have it then...consider how you will deal with that....anything that is going on now, will magnify and continue after the weight loss, along with a whole new set of problems. Most who do the surgery and are successful, require plastic surgery to remove excess skin, are you aware of that, and how will you deal with it? So don't fear the psych eval, just look at it as an opportunity to gain coping skills for the major life changes you are going to experience. Good luck to you!!

They want to see what your motives are. Are you depressed, are you doing this for yourself, they want to see if you are mentally ready for this life changing surgery. Congratulations on your decision, I wish you the best of luck. Here is a great website for support www.obesityhelp.com. I am speaking from personal experience, you just do what is best for you.... :)

Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass /lap band surgery / stomach stapling and gastrectomy have become very common and very safe now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.
