I did my psych evaluation last week. Today they called and said the doctor wanted to discuss the results of the testing. Has anyone else had this? I'm freaking out thinking this is going to delay everything.

Did the dr. who did the eval say anything about it when you completed it?

When i got done with mine she told me that she was going to approve me and send my evaluation over to the doctors office.

She just said she would look at it and call me if there was anything to discuss. But everything was basic questions.

Try not to worry too much. Perhaps she just needed clarification or needed some additional information. I know it's easier said than done.. best of luck to you!!

Thank you for the replies. I'm just going to wait and see what happens. I just want to stay on track to get surgery.

I had to have an appointment with the doctor and he just went over the tests and asked me some questions. He gave me a lot of advice and it was actually one of the better doctor visits I had.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. In my program we were told that the main objective is just to ensure that you have a realistic outlook and knowledge about the procedure you will be undergoing.

Mine didn't require any sort of written test. It was a straight on one to one discussion with the psychologist. And like the other poster said, I was also told at the end that she would be recommending me for surgery.

I'm sure yours will do the same.

Mine was the same one page of a few questions asking about general feeling of mental state do u feel hopeless worthless are wanting to hurt yourself and a brief chat with the shrink and at the end was told I'd be approved oh she asked the reason why I wanted the surgery and what my expectations were etc I was just honest mom had diabetes and died as a result of not being willing to change habits etc and that I knew it wasn't going to be a miracle that I'd have to comply with the right foods and some excercise etc the whole thing was maybe 30 mins I sat there for two hours waiting while they had overbooked patients all for the same time and what can u say if u get pissed or leave u get denied

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
