I did my psych evaluation through bariatricpsychevaluations.com.
They call you, you talk for 15 minutes and answer basic questions and you're done. Full clearance in a matter of minutes. My surgeon and insurance had no issue with it whatsoever.
I don't recommend if you have serious issues you need to work through with a psychologist, but if you just need surgery clearance I highly recommend [emoji4]
