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.
