I passed my psych testing

Just a note to let you all know this has a ****%y week. Both my grandparents are sick. My next door neighbor was in an accident and may be paralized. But through all of this I managed to pass my psych test. I will hopefully get a date on the 23rd. Oh and I lost another 11 lbs. but I also lost two inches.. lol not the good inches. I was told I was 5'*' not 5' 10" as I had written down so that changes everything. That means I will have to lose another 20 lbs. in order to have the lap RNY. But on a lighter side the nurse told me that all men "always" lie about two extra inches.. I almost said that well that means I have three inches but I didn't.. Peace

Sorry you had a bad week~~~~ Congrats on not being Psycho!!! Hey I started the scott and white program in Feb ending Aug 9th no one has said how much weight to lose. I even saw the dietician last week. When do they tell ya. Also I had a friend go to doc lost nothing and they agreed to let her have surgery. So I am sure it will work out. But no one has told me athing about losing an amount. I see Kathy at my request on may 5th, I am asking for meds then to help. Any insight? Aoll the info you can provide will be appreciated!!! thanks Teacher Diva Brenda preop

I am trying to lose the weight in order to have the closed surgery. You aren't required to do it but I chose to in order to have hopefully the easier of the two surgeries. I have been taking phenterimine 37.5 mg and to me it seems to be helping. But a lot of mine is I have totally changed my eating habits.. I don't eat what my family eats. I don't drink cokes, eat sweets and I try to cut down on the carbs. Also I have been exercising a lot more than before. By that I mean I try to do at least a mile a day 3 times a week. And lift weights. I hope you the best in your WLS journey. Feel free to email me anytime.

glad to see you have your computer back online. I fully understand about last week. You remember about my dog Asta. On Friday, got a frantic call from my father-in-law that he was being evicted. (Cops and all - strange & long story) So he has come to live with us (which is really ok) but to do this, my daughter & grandson who were living with us will temperarily move in with her mother in law (daughter's husband is in Iraq****il she finds an apartment. (she was thinking about looking before this) . Today I am having company over for lunch & house looks like dirty storage locker. But, I do get to see the grandboys. Cheryl K.

Sorry about taking so long to answer but I have been at my brother's and plus I went to church.. lol Sorry that it willl be raining some more lol ! ! I got to spend time with my young nephews.. and that makes my day. I am going to try and go to the support group next week. Peace

Ramon, Sorry to hear about you bad week. Why do you have to loose another 20lbs to have lap RNY? Is this a requiement of your surgeon? Just curious. Either way I hope the 20lbs just melts away and you get your surgery date. Glad to know you are not crazy. LOL Antoinette in Killeen

At Scott and White they want you to have a BMI of 59 or less to have lap RNY.. Well if I would have stayed 5'10" I would have been there by now.. But since I lost 2 inches somewhere I have to lose another 20 lbs. I will find out my surgery date on the 23rd. Then I will have one last pig out for a Thanksgiving in May. LOL.. Then I will hopefully be on the losing side. I thank you for writing and I too am glad I'm not crazy although I feel like I may be headed that way. Peace
