Hello!

I haven't posted on here in awhile. I have been a busy little bee lately. Went in for my Physical Therapy and Nutrition meetings. Also had my EKG, Chest x-ray, pulmonary function testing, and labs done. Good news, I am only deficient in Vitamin B 12 at this time, so I can keep going with my vitamin and now B-12. Only thing left to do is my Psych Eval. I don't know why, but I feel very anxious about it. I know my reasons for getting the surgery, and why I know this is going to be a success for me, but I almost feel like I have to convince the doctor I am worthy of his stamp of approval! I have ready many reasons for others not passing their Psych exams, and I just hope I am in a place where he feels I can go ahead with surgery. I have come too far to get stopped now! How was your experience with your Psych eval? Was it a good experience, or bad? Was there anything you wished you would have said/done differently?

I too was very anxious I went for mine last week.... It started out with a personality and abstract quiz then a quiz on eating habits followed by 377 true false test on the computer..... After an hour of doing these tests I met with the psych for about thirty minutes and he went over my history with weight and eating habits and then talked about the surgery a little and ways to succeed ..... At the end he told me he didn't see a need to see me again prior to surgery but they would let me know for sure.... Really not bad at all.... Good luck!

Mine was pretty easy. A couple of pages of questions to fill out and then 20-30 mins with psychologist. She gave me the all clear before I left the room.
