What happens at the psych and nutrition eval?

[spoiltmom 44]

My nutrition eval is set up for the 8th and I still have to schedule my psych eval.

what happens at these appointments? What sorts of questions will I be asked?

The nutritionist basically just walked me through the first few stages of diet after the surgery. She explained what Vitamins and Protein Shakes I will need to take/drink and that was that.

The psychologist gave me a weight loss survey and basically asked a lot of questions about my history of being obese and why I wanted the surgery. The psychologist basically just wants to determine that you are choosing to have the surgery for the right reasons and that you don't have any underlying psychological issues that would interfere with the surgery.

Good luck!

yeah....for my psych, she basically did the pt profile/hx that i did w/the surgeon, but along the same lines, of "what have u tried in the past, support system, etc."

more of knowing that you are doing this for u, and can follow through up with it, and understand the responsibilty.
