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...

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.

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
