preop psych evaluation



Recommended Posts

I am going for my psych eval on Monday and was doing some research about it tonight and stumbled onto the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery website (ASMBS) I found lots of good information there including this in depth guideline statement about the pre surgical psych assessment. Hope this helps someone else out there.

Good looking out, my evaluation is next month...nervous that one person could derail dreams, by not giving the green light.

I'm in the office waiting for mine now. I just had to fill out 10 minutes of paperwork/questions. I wonder if that was my 576 questions!?!

This is exactly what I had, along with a questionnaire. Specific to bariatrics. :)

Did mine yesterday, talked for 30 minutes and then completed 168 T/F questions. I guess I got off easy!

My visit was probably the easiest of all appointments. I did have to call the social worker back a month later to follow up on an exercise log but she was easy to get the green light from.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
