My Psychological Evaluation



Recommended Posts

I had my psych eval back in May and i too was completely honest about everything. Although im not too much of a binge eater i have very low self esteem(due to my weight gain). I suffered physical and mental abuse very quite some time from my partner and i yet to get over it not to mention other things in my past. Needless to say she diagnosed me with severe anxiety and depression that very day and after about 5 days of seeing her she called me with my results and said that my depression and anxiety was of the charts and that im so depressed i dont even realize how bad it is. She told me that she realizes it is my past and that she would go ahead and give me the ok for surgery bit wants me to see a psych at the very least once a wk. Dont get discourged because i did and look at me, as of this past Sunday i have been approved for my surgery!!! Greatest news i have received since '07 when i found out i was pregnant... I wish you the very best and remember not to stress on the small things it will all fall in place. Good luck tk you and keep us updated!

I am to see my phsyc Aug. 20. I wanted to see one closer to where I live but my surgeon refused, he wanted me to see a phsyc that was familiar with bariatrics. I'm worried about seeing her, the procedure,(since I've read some are still in the hospital after their designated time) and the Hair loss. I have read that some had intense pain. I know some have lower or higher pain levels but why are they staying in the hospital longer. I'm supposed to stay over one night. The phsyc is my last step before getting my date. I know I'm rambling but I've been working on this since May and now it's nearly time and I'm lil worried. Also, did anyone have to take a test from their Nuts before the surgeon would do the sleeve on you, I did and had to pass with a 90. Thank goodness I passed. Any help or words of wisdom would be appreciated. O Has anyone used Care Credit? My insurance isn't paying for mine. Thank you, Tina

You will be ok. Don't worry . Your body is different from the next person. Say a little prayer.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
