Hiya I had my triple appointment at L&D last Thursday.
The nurse went through the operation details, what you're hoping to lose, what you''ve already tried - basically the same as at your first appointment.
The dietician went through post-op eating, the operation details, what your eating habits are now, what supplements you'll need - she will put you on a low cal milk diet for 4 weeks and you have to lose 5% of your total weight. You can have either 5 slimfasts or 4 pints semi skim milk plus 2 oxo cubes plus 1 pint sugar free jelly !! You'll get an appointment to go back in 4 weeks to see the nurse to get weighed again.
The psych went through my family tree, any family history of obesity, illnesses, any traumatic events in my life, why had I gained weight ?, if I had been or was depressed, what I expected the operation to change in my life.
I took a folder full of info that I printed off the L&D site and the BOSPA site and also some posts from this forum to show that I had researched the op and all the consequences. All 3 people I saw were impressed with this as they like their patients to be informed.
They were all lovely people and not all scary - I was scared of the psych lol - and are there for your best interest.
Hope this helps - feel free to pm me if you want any more info.
