ireallywannabthin 286 Posted December 17, 2012 Hello Everyone! Tomorrow I'm going for my psych evaluation and I'm nervous because I have no idea what to expect. What were some questions you were asked? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted December 17, 2012 Don't be nervous. For one thing they want you to understand completely what you're getting yourself into. If you need further council b/c of some deep seeded problem that needs to be resolved before banding. They also give you like a 300 questionare that you answer from 1 to 5, 1 being not at all up to 5 most definitely. They throw trick questions in to make sure your paying attention. Like, I love shooting with bows and arrows lol Just be yourself and honest, you'll do fine. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♥LovetheNewMe♥ 1,216 Posted December 17, 2012 Just be yourself Jennifer, they just want to make sure you are stable and don't have other problems that may affect your progress with the band. I wish I had used mine after surgery too to help me cope with some of the issues that I confronted. But stubborn me worked through them myself the hard way. Good luck and so excited for you. 2 Maddysgram and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted December 17, 2012 Nothing to worry about, but please give honest answers. They want to help you build a plan that will work for you! 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaGottaBand 498 Posted December 17, 2012 The weirdest question I was asked was if I was good at saving money. That threw me. I guess there's a correlation between being obese and being poor at saving money. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ireallywannabthin 286 Posted December 17, 2012 So my appointment is complete! It was a few quick question since I did not have any other health related conditions. He asked me about my family history, how the surgery was done, how much weight I want to lose, and what I expect get in return from getting the lap band. He pretty much just wanted to make sure I was sane enough to. Sign consent forms, and keep up with my part of the LapBand after surgery. The result was that I was sane enough for the surgery! Yayyy!!! 3 ☠carolinagirl☠, Maddysgram and CatLady0626 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueBee01 630 Posted December 18, 2012 Glad you did great. You will have many more nervous times through the process, but it is normal. It gets exciting, then scary, then exciting again. Don't worry, you will make it through all of it! 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
