Mine was very short, about 15 min. But I have heard others saying they had to take tests...so guess it just depends on your evaluator.

Mine was a good hour if not 90 mins. They first questioned me, then had me fill out a questionnaire which was about 50 questions. Then they looked over the questionnaire while I just waited, waited, waited....uhhh...did I mention that I waited? Anyway, then they came back & said I was cleared for surgery but she gave me some "suggestions."

Don't sweat the psych eval - they have a vested interest in you "passing". Just be yourself, be honest and remember, they aren't expecting a person who is in complete control of everything in their lives (including food) to walk-in. The more honest and upfront you are about your struggles, the more it will reflect insight and self-awareness which are all crucial to a successful WLS journey.

I will be honest .... No worries there just hate how long it might take. Hopefully time will fly

Can anyone tell me how long the psych eval will take?

My psych evaluation was pleasant and just basically Talked about my experience With diet and weight loss. It was only 45 minutes or so. And you only have to see him once. It was fine they just want to make sure that you're not cuckcoo for Coco puffs.. Lol
