Went for my Psyc eval today and passed. He said he has never had someone finish the test so fast or give better answers!!! Our office sends approvals to insurance on Thursdays. He is finishing up the note and I'm hoping she can submit tomorrow. So excited.

Still amazes me that some people have to take test during their psych evals and some don't. Mine was only a discussion session for about 45 minutes, with a few meditation and relaxation techniques to help cope with stress, as not to fall to food during those times.

Glad you did well...

congrats one less target to hit getting to your journey

I agree. How is there not a standard for approving someone for the surgery? I was nervous about the questions he may ask and then some of the questions on the test were so dumb, but it was easy.

I had to fill out two pages. He asked me about my history and I got a mini lecture. I was in and out within 20 minutes.

What was the lecture he gave you? Mine discussed my results with and talked about me being a good candidate mentally. It's funny how true and false tells him about my little mind.

So what happens if the psych determines you are a raving lunatic ?

He basically said this was life changing and I need to make sure that I am prepared for it.

lol..then you get to come back again..I guess..

I am by-polar and have a shrink, my surgeon still sent me for a psych eval, to another doctor just to make sure I was ready for this. I had a 30 minute interview and had a written test with about 50 questions. Oh I passed no problems.
