What happens if you aren't cleared for the psyc test? Do they have you come in and talk about it? Give you a second chance or can you try again eventually or is that it? I'm still waiting to hear back about mine but just want to know

Vixey, I think a lot depends on the psychologist & the surgeon, as well as exactly why the person was not cleared. There are some reasons that might be able to be worked out in a pretty short time frame, but there are other issues that could be far more serious. My guess is that if you are not cleared the psych will give you a full explanation as to why & you can then see what the options are. I wouldn't worry about it, though. I think the number of folks who don't clear the psych eval are pretty low. Good luck to you!

I tend to worry about anything I can..but you are probably right.

I got called in after my psych eval and I thought I had failed, but what they wanted was for me to have three individual counseling sessions, one before my surgery, and two after. So I was cleared for surgery after my first session, and I still need two more sessions, which I am fine with.

i asked him and he said I wouldn't need any appointments he will talk with my therapist that if had for 2 years and then talk with the bariatric team and give me a call in a few weeks.

I'm not at all worried about my therapist. She told me to give him her number and supports this choice and is proud of how well I have come (was being taken advantage of by my guardian) but since I'm out on my own I've come a long way..I just worry about my history and I have horrible social and general anxiety and while I'm close with my family and boyfriend I have no friends out side the Internet.
