I was terrified and almost freaked just knowing some person maybe could derail my plans with a psych exam. It consisted with a 30min interview with a psychologist asking about my weight history, goals, family and home life, what I wanted for the future. Those kinda questions. Then I took like a 600 question test that asked everything under the sun also many were same type questions just reworded. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought and I also can tell my hubby im not crazy even if he thinks so lol

I am going to meet my surgeon on August 12th an my sleep study on August 2nd. I'm nervous to sleep away alone in some random room with people monitoring me.

My psych evaluation was so easy! I was nervous, too, but it was really nothing but a short questionnaire and then a chat with a man for 20 minutes about my medical history (surgeries, whether I've ever had depression or eating disorders), my family (if I had a support system), what diets I've tried and my understanding of the surgery risks. I expected him to really probe into my personal emotional/mental side, but he didn't. Relax and try to "enjoy" the conversation.

Just realized that you posted this yesterday about today. Well, how did it go?

My psych eval was an hour talk with very nice woman, she really made it easy for me.

Those sleep apnea studies are really difficult- Most people do have difficulty sleeping in them, but fortunately you dont have to sleep long to get a good handle on your problem. After 4 hours ? sleep they let me go home. No problem

I had my Psych eval yesterday. Real nice Dr. As stated above it was about what were my expectations of the surgery, did I understand the risks, did I have eating disorders, support systems, and all that. I didn't do that huge questionaire but I have in the past for employment.

To be honest, that sleep study is a royal pain in the butt. Just keep telling yourself it's only one night. It will be easier if you dont take a nap that day and do stuff to really tire yourself out that day. They stick wires all over your head and arms and legs, but mostly your head. It looks like they ripped open an old gaming console and glued it all over you. Then they put a nasal cannula on you.
