How long was everyones psych eval is you had to have one??

I got there at 7:50 am, in almost immediately and didn't get out til 12:30!!

The worst part was the little block puzzles, I felt like SUCH a complete moron.

My psych eval was about 2 hours with the most time spent on the multiple choice evaluation. My doc xplained that the psych was mandated by most insurance because many patients don't understand that lap band is a tool and not a quick fix.

My "eval" was a bubble sheet with 165 questions that was mailed off. I didnt think much about it but Im shocked at some of the responses here about how long and detailed theirs were.

Well, my visit was only an hour but the psych sent paperwork home with me that took at least another hour or two and then I had to send it back. My next visit consisted of the psych telling my why he was putting my surgery off for a while. He told me I had an eating disorder and that he had to fix my brain before I could have surgery. I thought dear Jesus this could take years but actually I went to him every 1-2 weeks for about 3 months and then he released me. My surgery date is in 9 days and I can't wait! The funny thing is, I'm still going to my therapist, my choice because he actually helped me. He taught me that holding grudges against people would actually make me unable to lose weight because when I thought of these people I would eat. Weird huh? Good luck, keep your head up and just be honest with your therapist. It will go much faster if you tell the truth and let him "figure" you out.

That's too bad...my psych eval was almost an hour. I loved her ..she gave me a ton of good advice ..much more than the "nutritionist". I want to hire her as my life coach! I do want to see her again...hoping she doesn't charge me $250 an hr. againe THO!@
