Have my evaluation today just wondering how long it has taken for others. Also any other info would be great

I have no history of mental illness or anything. He asked what procedure I was getting and if I had a history of mental illness in my family and I told him no. My visit only lasted 9 minutes. I was kind of mad that it, only lasted that time b/c I drove 1 1/2 hours one way to get to him. I was nervous on my way there but its no big deal.

everyone's eval is different. Mine was about 45 minutes from the moment i walked in the door. (probably spent 30 minutes with the Dr.)

We spoke about everything from the weather to my kids and the actual surgery.

Just be honest and don't sweat it. It's not a job interview. Go in relaxed and you'll be fine.

I agree, just be honest and don't over think things. My evaluation lasted about an hour but they made me take a test like I was in school. I felt like a little kid. But it was OK.

You wanted more info so I will tell you (and don't let it freak you out PLEASE) that I didn't "pass" my evaluation. They recommended that I continue with counseling because my self esteem was SO low (which they determined from the test I took). I went a couple more times and they approved me for surgery (obviously since I'm post-op) but I still go to the tharapist by my choice. I LOVE HER!! She loves me too and not just because my insurance pays her!!

I just had mine on Wednesday. I had to fill out 4 questionaires, which took about 30 minutes. Meeting with the Dr. was about 20 minutes. My appt was scheduled for 2 hrs 20 minutes...but only took about 50 minutes total. It wasn't stressful. They're just looking for signs of any addictions and if you understand the changes you'll be going through. I was nervous before it, but it was low key. Good luck!
