mwrarr 244 Posted October 9, 2012 Hi all :} I have my psych Eval today--finally!! (his office has rescheduled 4x) I have NO idea what to expect from this. I guess I'm afraid he'll not like me or something I say, & shut the whole thing down. Is that possible?!??? OMIGOSH, this & the EGD are the parts of this process that are messing with me the most. Well, here goes nuthin'! :} 347*294/285/135 (*347HW/294SSW) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katnroyal 225 Posted October 9, 2012 Don't be nervous about the psych eval! They are just trying to make sure you are of sound mind to handle the changes that are about to come your way. Mine was more of a conversation. It's ok to admit that you have a weight problem, that's why your there to fix it. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwrarr 244 Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks! :} IDKY I'm so worried about this one! Haha I'm not sure I'm "sound" but definitely not delusional or hiding some psychosis or anything. And MORE THAN READY for all the good, bad, ugly & liquidy mooshy Protein powder tainted goopiness that is to come!

Justine13 264 Posted October 9, 2012 From what I'm reading is that we r all different (i say we as I have done such evaluations before). The answer to your question is yes they can certainly put a hold on the procedure but that is usually because of what you described- severe mental health issues. Be yourself- talk about your struggles- your support system for pre and Post surgery and just be honest. There's a reason for these Evals. Some do testing which don't lie on because it can tell If you are lying. Some (like previous poster said) are just conversations. I'm sure you will do wonderful. Good luck!

bronxgirl 3 Posted October 9, 2012 Don't get nervous. In my psych eval, the doctor talked about himself 90% of the time! Mostly they want to know if you are capable of understanding what the surgery is going to do to you and if you're sane enough to be able to follow the pre- and post-op instructions.

mwrarr 244 Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks ladies! :} I just got home & he said that he doesn't see any reason to not give his blessing for the go-ahead. I have such an intense feeling of relief!! Haha I actually had to stop by work to drop off keys & I finally told them what the big secret's been all about. They basically said "we had a hunch...you're a terrible poker face!" lol Omigosh I feel like it's going to be OK finally. :} 347*294/285/135 (*347HW/294SSW) 1 Justine13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
