My Psych Eval

I remember how nervous and excited I was about the Psych Eval, so I want to share my experience.
First off, everywhere I called to make an appointment for my Psych Eval there was a 3 month wait. I had called probably 15 places, on my 16th try, when I asked if they have anyone that does WLS determinations, she said yes, but we are booked out 3 months, then, she says, hold on a second. I hear someone else on a different phone, talking about a cancellation. Sure enough, the lady comes back on the phone and asks how soon I can get there? Are you kidding me? I am about an hour+ away, . . . I can be there in 45 minutes!
I made it. I was very excited, I have worked in the Mental Health field for about 5 years, and I was super excited about having a one on one evaluation from a Psychiatrist. So I fill out my paperwork, they call me back. He begins asking me questions.

Do you have a support system?
-
How much weight do you want to loose?
-
What do you want to look like?
-
Who is your support system?

Who are you telling about surgery?

So, then I figure I will get to take a Millon, or some type of personality test. Nope. That was it. It took maybe 35 minutes, he said he would have his recommendation faxed by the end of the day. I was a little disappointed. I was kind of wanting to have the whole lay on the couch and tell me about your life experience, but whatever. He approved me and I am off to Insurance.
Oh, come to find out, my insurance company doesn't even require a psych eval. oh well. :-)
