Annoying Psych Eval

[bunchlane1 14]

I also HAD to get a second opion for my eval once a phycholigist and 1 phychiatrist I see the phychiatrist every 3 mnths so I do see him and know him better so he thinks now its up to the surgeon ya I was wondering bc I hated to just stop right there after comming so far (I thought) Im still so far way I think.... Its been almost 2 mnths since my seminar I have my labs done also I cant wait for my CONSULT Im still awaiting for it.......

Just curious...do you think psychs are given a psych eval before they can do evals? Or is crazy contagious? If my daughter was considering a guy on Plenty of Fish who was a psych evaluator I would disable her computer!

WTG!!

I was totally 100% honest in mind, about my childhood, the issues there, etc etc. We had a nice chat.

I won't harp on mental health, but I think it's the single biggest thing lacking in the bariatric community today and why we see the failures that we do. I'm glad that I sought out a counselor on my own.

Having said THAT... I'm glad she followed up with your personal counselor. I really think one visit isn't enough for them to base their decision on.

I was self-pay, but my doctor still required a fitness eval, psych eval and all that stuff. I loved that he still wanted to be sure I knew what I was getting myself into.

Yes, I was honest! I seen him 3 times in 1 week, the thing I said and didn't realize is I told him when I lose some weight I will start working out. If I would have told him I have already started he would have approved that day! I have started Water arobics and he wrote me a new assessment!

I had to do the 6 month's with my family Dr first! So I had my seminar last July! Good Luck!!

Wow it's a good thing I'm doing self pay. Sounds to me like I wouldn't have a chance in hell getting approved after previous eating disorders, drug abuse as well as a 'difficult but still loving' relationship with my parents.

Good luck

Thank you and Good Luck to you as well!!
