I know this is a stupid question but how will you know if you ace the psych evaluation!!! Being that I have never been to one :) Do they just make sure you are not totally nuts to pass you?

I think they are trying to weed out people who are obviously unstable. If you need more help they will advise you for counseling before you can move forward. Mine told me right at the appointment "your all set, I will give you the green light". Just ask.

Exactly. I was so nervous abiut mine but when he started asking questions and I took the quiz I realized this was to really determine who is very unstable!

Well, mine was fairly easy. I think they just want to make sure that this is what you want, what the expectations, support people, and that you are not depressed or mentally insane. If so then they will provide more counseling or such... So far the answers to my person's questions were answered well.... Yeah.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
