Hey yall!!!! So my psych eval is tmro all pre-op necessities are winding up just fine...all im worried about now is this psych eval tmro any advice other than "just be honest" cuz honesty might just make them tell me no....lol but yea any words would be greatly appreciated!!

My psych eval seemed to be all about me having realistic expectations of life after surgery - how much weight I expected to lose, how fast, knowing that it would take work and dedication to be successful and the dietary changes I would have to live with. There was also a 500 multiple choice questiannaire that seemed to be mainly focused on determining if you were a balanced person. You might watch my video and I tell about my psy eval.

Mine was just a one-on-one talk. She had mailed me. Medical info type questionnaire previously and I forgot it, luckily I was early and filled one out. We sat and talked. That's it. She asked about my bipolar disorder, life, dealing with stresses. She mainly wanted to hear what I thought I'd get out of surgery. She asked about my expectations and then told me to have my regular psych fax her a simple letter stating my treatment plan for therapy after I'm sleeved. I don't think she did that with everyone, but only those already in therapy. Then she told me I was a great candidate.
