I have my last appointment on my checklist next thursday! Its psych testing. Does anyone know what this all involves?? If all goes well, they will submit my paperwork to insurance!!! Fingers crossed!!

I just had my psych appointment last Saturday!! Pretty much the pysch doctor asked about my current eating patterns, all previous diets/attempts at weight loss, he asked about my self-image issues, how long I've been considering getting surgery (I'm 24 years old and I've found people think I've just jumped the gun on it.. I've been looking into it since I was 16.) The questionnaire was all on the computer. At the end, he read me the letter he was sending over to the doctor which was awesome because he recommended with no reservation that I have the gastric bypass surgery!!

Questions about binge eating.
Food addiction.
History of addiction or alcoholism.
Questions about my emotions.
It was pretty painless.
Took like 10-15 minutes.

Ok, so all that test includes are the same questions just asked in a different manner. You will identify the "crazy" questions. Mine asked me about my religious beliefs, my spirituality, which I thought was interesting. The only one I was questioned on was when it asked me if I felt like I was a failure to my children. I answered yes and she wanted to know why. I expressed that I was injured when my son was 11 and it took years to overcome that injury. I lost time with him and in that I felt like a failure. I guess she was worried I was depressed. I honestly think that every parent feels like they've failed their children at some point.
