I don't remember certain questions but they want to make sure you aren't suicidal and you're having this surgery for the right reasons (so that they don't believe you'll become anorexic post op)

besides talking to the Psych person you will take a large test, Just answer the questions truthfully but be careful seems they throw a couple in that are kinda trick questions so read them carefully and answer with your best answer and you should be fine.

I didn't have to take a test- do it varies from psych to psych. Just be honest and you will be fine

The test i did was like 589 questions. Like if your suicidal or like to commit felonies or arson and in the test also is like a personality test like if your a team person or like doing stuff alone. Sees if your like a leader or a follower and some that were way out there to see if your a sociopath

I was with my psych for 20m, he asked things like.. if I cried that week, if I thought about suicide, If I hid my eating, if I purged, then asked if I had thought about surgery for more or less than 2 years. My doc was a weirdo though, he was 35m late for appt, then was more concerned about his dogs in doggie day camp with the webcam, then talking to me about the surgery. Then when I paid his $170 fee, he took out his wallet and put it in, right in front of me. Very different experience. LOL

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
