How long were you in there with the therapist? When I was making my appointment today I was told that it would take 1 hr to 1hr 30 minutes. Seems a bit long to be in there talking about myself...eek!

I haven't done it yet I have to go have a egd a scope down my throat to make sure I have no damage from acid reflux. That is on the 26th of april

I had mine today and I was in there for 2 hours. But they also wanted to set goals and stuff. Wasn't just two solid hours of me talking about myself.

Mine took about 2.5 hrs

3hrs but it wasn't all talk time I had to do a bunch of screening tests for different disorders.

I was scheduled for two hours. Talk time maybe 15-20 mins the rest was tests.

Mine took one hour. I had to answer a 400-something test, and then I spoke with the person about 15 minutes. It was a breeze. Good luck!

Mine was just under an hour, and I was sent home with some testing materials to do. Easy peasy.

I dunno. Maybe about an hour. I'm chatty. I could talk the paint off walls. I had a short questionnaire that I was given at my first appointment. I filled that out at home and she reviewed it. Then we just chatted.

Mine was maybe 30 minutes total. It varies greatly though.

I was required to have two appointments. Both were 1 hr.

Mine was 30 minutes, and she really was just asking question about my family and their weights, how much support I had around me, and I took a survey (prior to appt.) to determine levels of food addiction.

At the end, she said, "I don't see any reasons why you wouldn't be successful after this surgery." and she gave me the clearance to move forward with it.

I wish mine would go faster I really want to feel better but I don't have my first apt for a egd and that is on the 16th of april to make sure acid reflux isn't going to be a problem

Where I live they require you to have 2 visits with the psychologist, 1 hour long. I had my first visit Monday and was about 45 min. She gave me the questioner to take home to do then bring it back the following visit.

If anyone knows of anyone that goes from redding ca to Santa rosa I would like to know because maybe we could drive together. I also found a support group in eureka ca if anyone wants to go.i love the coast so it's worth the drive for me.

Thank you. I have a better understanding of what is probably going to happen now.
