Yes you have to be evaluated by a psychologist to make sure you are ready for such a surgery. You cannot be found to be forced by another member of the family, be doing it for someone else, be senile and not know what you are doing etc. Basically if you are "normal" and of sound mind then you can have the surgery. This is major elective surgery and it is required for your safety and the doctor’s. You shouldn’t be sent to anyone else.
just the surgeon for the surgery…yeah…they wanna make sure you aren’t doing it for the ‘wrong’ reasons…(like anyone would…)
Even for some elective cosmetic surgery they send you to a psychologist. They just want to make sure you don’t have some dysfunction and that you’re mentally able to handle the surgery. I would assume after the psychologist you’d be scheduling the surgery. Good Luck to you!
If you don’t eliminate processed foods and switch to fresh, organic, raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, you’ll put it right back on. This is actually the way you’re really supposed to lose it to begin with.
Surgery’s dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Also, eating processed, dead foods, versus living fresh foods will only end up creating disease.
Good luck with your choice.
He will probably try to hypnotize you so that you don’t want to eat anymore. If that doesn’t work you will need the surgery.
