Psyc eval was simple. Talked for a few minutes, took the test, went over my results and that was it. Maybe if you have deeper issues it will be longer?

Haven't had my but consult yet, can't help you there. You will do just fine!

Mine went well, and was relatively quick. We spent more time laughing at my childhood antics than anything.

One of the main purposes of the psych eval is to determine if you understand what is involved in the surgery and have realistic expectations. If your doctor's office arranges your evaluation or suggests a doctor, then you have no worries. They want you to be successful and receive approval. They aren't going to send you to someone who won't approve you. You will find out for yourself once this is over that you worried for nothing.

Good luck. I'm sure you will do fine.

Just be honest and be yourself. They can see right threw you if your trying to blow smoke at them. Mine was easy and comfortable.

Their looking to make sure your mentally able to comprehend the risks and limitations involved with the pre and post op stuff.

What was the most out there question that u had? (If you don't mind me asking)

[rls41998 91]

Some were "do u believe in aliens?" "Do u hear voices and do they tell u to do bad things?" Just questions from every point. One question could be about ur job and the next about aliens. It changed subject from question to question pretty much. Everuthing from th above questions to are u happy
