    Yes. Most insurance companies and dr require one to make sure you can handle the life chafes the surgery brings and to see if you have any depression that may need treated. Hope this helps good luck.

Has everyone had to have a psych eval before surgery?

I had one before surgery. It was required by my surgeon.

    yes, I think it is a normal requirement. Let's just say I have not heard of anyone that did not have to get one. They are no big deal by the way.

    Yeah I had one - as a result I also need a year of therapy concurrently with the op etc... Otherwise the surgeon wouldnt have agreed to do the surgery

    that's my worry! my surgeon have not asked me to have 1 done!!! only reason I know about it now is because my cousin who had the surgery years ago just asked me if I had mine done today.
