Mine were spread out over a month or so, but none of them were bad. I believe that they are all geared toward making sure that you have a full understanding of the process, the surgery and the post-op life you are signing up for.

My psych appointment had a questionnaire and then an interview where they ask some sort of profile questions. Everyone in the process wants the best outcome for you, and if there is some pushback, try to understand what they are seeing in you. Ask all of the questions you have, learn as much as you need to to be fully comfortable with your choice.

You'll do great!

I only met with a psychologist once in the beginning to qualify. The other people I met with separately so maybe a little less overwhelming. Each appointment was very helpful. Write down any questions or concerns that you have so you can discuss it with them. They are all there to help you. I felt good with each person I met with. There is nothing to worry about, they are all there to help you succeed.

Good luck please post how it went, please, my apt with two of them is Dec 10th so will be curious to hear

Everyone is different when it comes to recovery time. I had my sleeve on Wednesday and was back at work for a few hours the following Tuesday, then a half day and then full days. I too have a pretty sedentary job so it worked for me. But your doctor will be able to give you estimates and recommendations.

I took 4 weeks off, and although I could physically have gone back after a week or two, having the longer time off allowed me to rest more (I slept a ton) and exercise more (the dog loved the daily long walks and then I was also back into the gym before i came back). I know that is not feasible for a lot of people, but I came back to work energized and was right back into the swing of things.
