Psychological Eval - what did you experience?

The person I saw dug in pretty deep. I guess looking for any signs of eating disorders or ways to help me control my eating and to make sure there's no chance of self sabatoge. They got very personal and wanted to know a lot of family history. They are looking for HOW you got where you are in hopes to give you options to change those habits or fill those voids. But it wasn't bad, and I was still approved. Some people tell you to lie to them, but they know when you are so dont. Lol. Hope this helps. Good luck with your journey!

It was better than expected. Just relax and be honest and be yourself.

I had a good experience, she made me feel comfortable and we talked about my weight and goals and it was over. I just say relax and be honest.

Mine was relaxed and very useful. We talked about any things that might hinder weight loss and how I needed to change. I was a nervous wreck the first time I went in!!

I filled out 2 test they asked questions like have you ever had thoughts about doing bad things? Have you gone skydiving in the last 6 months?

Then there was the one on one verbal season asking about family history. My history. And such.

Mine was about 45 minutes with a psychiatrist recommend by my surgeon. It was a causal conversation talking about my expectations and future plans. I didn't have to do a questionnaire or anything. I would love to continue to see him, that's how nice the experience is.
