Psych Evaluation

I'm starting my required doctor visits for my VSG and tomorrow is my 90 minute psych evaluation. I really have no idea what to expect. For some reason, I am very nervous about going for this. Any comments would greatly be appreciated.

    Don't be nervous, it's generally pretty simple. They're mostly looking to see that you have realistic expectations of what postop life will be like (in terms of behavioral changes like diet adjustmen

Don't be nervous, it's generally pretty simple. They're mostly looking to see that you have realistic expectations of what postop life will be like (in terms of behavioral changes like diet adjustments & exercise) & that you have prepared yourself with some support around you & preparation for the changes & challenges. Also that you don't think surgery is a magic bullet, like that losing weight will solve all the problems in your life. Good luck! :)

@Southernsoul, Survived the psych evaluation!! It was just as you said and at the end I had a quiz with 165 questions which will help the doctor and his staff know how to treat me, so the psychologist said. Thanks again for the info!! :)

Hooray!! Way to go, girl! The psych will likely make some recommendations that may include things like attending support group meetings or even some therapy...but all of it will be aimed at helping you be as successful as you can be. Congrats on another hurdle jumped!
