I'm confused. What is my psychiatrist suppose to report to my surgeon? Is there a form or a format? Any suggestions?

Also, how did your psych eval go? I just don't know what to tell my psych my surgeon needs.

I think that they report everything that you all discussed in regards to lapband, committment, psych issues, alcohol, drugs, etc. I will not be able to get a copy of my report until monday to tell you more. He asked about my support system, meds taking, weight loss programs attempted before, do I know wht the lap band is and how I will be affected by it, stuff like tht. But I did do a questionairre of about 500-600 questions. My visit total time was 1 hr and 10-15 minutes of that I spent talking with the psychologist. My psychologist was linked to my physician so that made it easier for me, I did not have to find one on my own or take in papers. So, he automatically knows wht they request of him to do. As long as ur comitted, I think u will be fine, it was a breeze for me.Goodluck.

Thank you Ready. My psych is asking me about what format do they want. I have no clue.

If anyone else has input or if you think of something else Ready let me know.

your surgeon should be able to provide that to your doctor, they usually make you see one of their psychologist but your surgeon wants you to fulfil the pre requirements so they should be helpful!

Tell your psychiatrist to contact your surgeon's office to ask what format they require. You should not be the go between. If you are the go between, there is liability there if you tell the psychiatrist the wrong thing.
