I have to do this next. What do they ask in the evaluation? I am guessing they talk about your emotional well being and such and figure out if you are stable. Any ideas what kind of stuff they go over?

I had a one hour interview. We focused on why I wanted the surgery, my wieght history, what kind of support I would have from family and friends, how important spirituality is in my life, what I have been successful with in my life, my attitudes toward medical care, following doctor's orders, what I already knew about the surgery, etc. Then I did an MMPI (about 350 questions) that gives a personality profile that tells about your thought processes, coping skills, anxiety and depression, energy level, self esteem, ect. Then I did a test created for bariatric patients that seems to focus on whether I felt my life was out of my control or that I was able to make decisions that affected my life and health and gave me some control, would I be a good patient, etc. It was interesting. I thought it was pretty non-threatening.

Mine was pretty much the same. I actually really enjoyed it...craziest thing ...she said "I was normal" Hmmm, she don't know me very well do she??? LOL

This is another one of those things (and there are MANY) that vary greatly depending on the doctor. Some, as mine was, are very simple informal Q&A sessions, while others are very intense with pencil and paper tests that last for hours. You may get a lot of different answers on here, but you will likely not konw until you get there unless someone on here has been to your specific doctor.
