Hello I was wondering if the psych eval will determine weather or not I can have the surgery

While I admit I haven't had it yet, don't sweat the psych exam. Here's an excerpt from the site I linked at the bottom. Unless you're concerned that one of the bullet items applies to you, it should not be a problem. If one of those does apply to you, you likely have bigger problems than your weight.
QuoteApproximately 15 percent of the time, psychologists recommend that patients be denied for the surgery, or delay the surgery due to mental health concerns.
Patients may be denied for a variety of reasons, including:
- Suffering from undiagnosed and undertreated depression
- Demonstrating the symptoms of psychosis and bipolar disorders
- Not understanding the risks of the surgery
- Abusing drugs and alcohol within the past six months
- Attempting suicide multiple times
- Showing an inability to follow the post-operative procedures
- Exhibiting symptoms of a severe binge eating disorder
- Having an unstable social situation, such as homelessness or lack of a support system
