Psych. eval tomorrow...? filling out questionaire



Recommended Posts

Hi!

Hope everything had a nice weekend.

Thinks are starting to move along little by little. I am a little worried about the psych. evaluation.

I am worried about being completely "honest" as far as all the questions.

Wondering how others dealt with this issue.

Be you! Be sure that the phyc eval is done by someone who has a lot of experience in WLS patients.

Good luck I'm sure you'll do great.

Don't worry so much on it. The questions are very repetative and go somewhat like this..

Do you often see people or things other people don't see?

So you hear voices?

Do you sometimes want to hurt yourself or others?

There are questions in there about stealing, anger suicidal thoughts and your options are False, somwhat true, mostly true and Very true. My experience was to go in and take the test, took me about an hour, then I scheduled an appointment with the dr for a week later. I showed up for the appointment which took an hour. 1st off he asked me to tell him about the procedure and what my expectations where. Then he some of my eating background, went over my psyche eval, then gave me two verbal iq test vocabulary and how are these words similar. Don't think about it to much and just be yourself.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
