What should I expect to be asked at my eval?

Interesting question. Some people on here went through quite a rigorous questionnaire to screen for mental disorders while others had a pretty basic interview/discussion session. Mine was pretty easy. They asked the following stuff:

History of mental disorders

Medication

Stability of my mental disorders

My psychiastrist name

If I am in therapy and how often do I go the therapists name

Have I ever missed work from depression

Suicide history

Family history

Family weight history

What I know about the surgery

How I felt about the extra skin after weight loss

What my support system was like

My eating habits

That's all I can think of for now. But my psychologist told me right then, before I left, that I was a could candidate and would be writing a recommendation.

I hope this helps.

I had to take a 200 question Personality Inventory before the visit. She checked and made sure i'm not that crazy. Asked a lot of the same things the above poster said. She tries to gauge how psychologically ready for the surgery and life change you are.

200 repetitive questions to see if you're depressed or crazy before you sit with the psychologist for about an hour.

Mines was the same as 1SuperBonBon. I also had to take 2 online questionnaires. One was 165 questions and the other was 368 questions. They asked questions about do I see things or hear things. The questions were interesting. I must say. lol I was nervous, but the psychologist made me feel at ease. I wish you all the best.

Mine was pretty much this as well. She was really nice in my case!

Good to know! I won't worry too much then.
