So today I had my psych eval. Prior to going I spent maybe 3 hrs filling out the booklet questionnaire and another 3 page packet of papers . I had to pay $275 as it was not something we could submit their insurance

Anyway I went to the appointment and she never asked for the packet when I asked her about packets and she said she didn't need it ( almost like she was unprepared )

Anyway I have to wait 3 to 4 days for her recommendation did that happen to anyone else? When I have been reading about this it seemed like many of you go your results that same day.

She said a lot of time the recommend more counseling is this going to hold up my surgery

The Dr that did my psych evaluation told me at the end of the session that "all was good" & she would forward report to my surgeon.

Mine was 15-25 minutes. Self pay. Did a little mental exam like what's the date, how to spell something, who was the president. Then was sent home with a personality test 500 questions. And was done, not once asking me anything about over eating.

I had a 3 hr consult. He told me his recommendations right there in his office and sent them to the Bariatrics clinic that night via fax.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
