My Psychological Evaluation

Yeah it takes a good while to get anywhere where we live out in the country, but I wouldn't trade it for city life! I love my little Texas town

I said if I ever move. I would build a house in the country. I would get me a couple of cows and horses for tax reasons lol. Then I woke up. I will stay in my house until it is paid in full. I can't see myself starting over . Im too far head now.

I haven't seen my psychologist yet, and I'm a lil worried. Nothing has really happened in my past but I have noticed I'm a stress and bored eater. I want this surgery so bad and I'm afraid I'm going to say something that will make her deny me . I'm glad you said to be honest with your phsyc because I have searched to find out what kind of questions they would be asking. Yours is the only thread about it. Please let us know your results and I will post as soon as I see my phsyc. Thank you for your information.

When I went in for my eval the first thing she told me was that it wasn't her job to decide if I should have the surgery, but rather come up with a plan to address my mental health needs through the process. That made me relax and I was totally honest, also. She said that if she thought there was a need that she would recommend follow-up sessions and/or mandatory support groups before and after surgery. I came away with a recommendation that I be given information before and after surgery about how to contact a therapist and support groups and that this information be on my discharge papers. That was it...just made sure I have it handy if I need it. I will also say that I have a pretty dramatic background, also. You know I think the "stupid" ones are the ones that lie to the psychologist. This isn't a magic fix and I do not want to go through all of this and not succeed because I didn't have the support or resources to handle the mental aspect of it all.

Thank you, I feel better about seeing my psychologist. I truly didn't know what they were going to ask. I have finished everything on my list except the physiologist, one more visit with nut, and final consultation with surgeon. I was told by the nut that I would have to take a test per the surgeon and make a 90 or above. I was told I had to do this to be sure I read and listened and understood everything that I would be going through with the sleeve. Does anyone else have to take a test?

Doc pretty much asked questions about my life. Family, friendships, work, etc. The eval test at over 500 questions asked really seemingly meaningless questions but worked pretty well. During the follow up he said questions like do u like yellow mean nothing to me but through history they determine people that like yellow feel a certain way. So pretty much it has a consistancy score to make sure you don't lie as some questions are obvious. For example in the report he put i dont need support groups. They have a normal range on like 15 factors. Wish I had copy of report btw. Said the ones slightly out of norm are that i am sexually compulsive. Given that i have over 200 sex partners the test hit that on head and i didn't talk sex in interview, also that i am lazy, he said that is normal for overwieght population, also said I deal with stress poorly ( get pissed off and walk away often). Can't remember what other factors there were but those were the only that i was outside the norm somewhat. He said on a 0 to 100 scale of mental stabilty with 50 as median i am a 62. Also compared results with typical wieght loss paients and doing surgury was average or good in every catergory. (more self confidence was only one I remeber) Although I have a positive self image, I run around think im hot then get pissed off when i see myself in mirror and find out im not so the test must have missed that. not sure if all are simialr but for what it cost better cover lots

Gotcha.

I meant no disrespect. Sounds like you took it in the playful way it was meant

Also, I hadn't done the math...

Good luck with the dr.

That's your past. It does not define your future. No one has the right 2 judge u on your past. We all have skeletons in our closest. You will be able to help a lot of other young ladies one day. You don't have 2 explain yourself 2 anybody.

I was sleeved Tuesday. Boy was it painful. Im still in the hospital.

Good luck

Stay strong
