Lol.

Please tell us what is involved in the eval!!!!

Mine was with my therapist. She wanted to know what I'd done before to lose weight, why I chose surgery, what support system I have in place, how does my family feel about my surgery, what changes I'm willing to make long-term, how I will deal with changes/people as they occur post-op, what I've been doing to deal with emotional eating and food addiction (which I've been working with her on for a few months) and basically how invested I am to following through and following up. Not sure if that's the standard eval, but that's my experience. Took a little less than an hour.

see above

Awesome!

I had my psych evaluation today too. Passed....yeah. First I had to take two test. First was about a 100 true or false questions mostly making sure I wasn't CRAZY...Lol. Second test was best answer out of 5 statements of about 10 questions making sure I'm not an alcoholic gosh didn't think I was going back to school....then to the psych Doctor. We had a conversation about my children. Seeing what kind of support system I have. Who in my family knows about my decision. How long I have been struggling being overweight. What other systems have I tried losing weight. He made sure I knew about exercising, drinking enough Water and Vitamins after my procedure. It wasn't too bad. He suggested that I start now trying out Protein supplements to see what I like. I hadn't even thought about it.

Does anyone know if they have samples that one can try before purchasing a huge portion of protein powders or liquids?

Congrats on passing your eval @@losing2win

I just started buying four packs to sample drinks

So all they ask about is the weight loss in the psyc eval?? Did you only have 1 meeting? I only ask cause I read one where the psyc Dr was wanting counseling papers from another Dr, which I have been to counseling but not crazy lol well not yet anyway ????. Just didn't know what to expect I guess its all new and exciting/Scarry.

Congrats on the passing grade! One step closer to surgery!

Congratulations.

The exam is for everyone's own good. The surgery can not fix deep emotional issues. Also, someone may have an addictive personality and cutting back on over eating could lead some people to cross addictions.

They want to work with people to help them with what's "eating them".

After the session was finished, you should have turned to the empty seat next to you and asked an imaginary person "How do you think I did?".

Lol they prolly would lock you up on the spot..."where's the white coat" lol. CONGRATS!! ( by the way)
