Don't read your psychological analysis. It is probably guaranteed to piss you off. I just had mine faxed to me so that I can send it on to my new surgeon. I am just a tad pissed at what the psychologist wrote. He approved me for surgery, but he also said a lot of crap that I really don't agree with.

All this is, is another little example of how *we* are not in control of everything.

Very true.

I just had my eval and took that annoying MMPI-2 yesterday. How many different ways can they ask if I am a sexual deviant or if I love my parents? Sheesh!

My favorite question on my psych eval was " Do you hear voices?" I said only when someone is talking to me. I then asked him does anyone ever say yes, I hear voices!? He said that you would be amazed at what he runs into. Oh my! I guess I should be thankful that fat is my main isssue in life and that I am not hearing voices in my head. That would not be fun!

While I was off work due to depression I had to be evaluated by a work appointed shrink. He asked me a lot of brain dead questions and then asked me to write something down for him. I wrote: I'm depressed is all, I don't have senile dementia.:help:

when I had my eval, they actually asked my if I loved my mother, she was in the waiting room. They also asked me if I thought being thin would cure all my problems. DUH!!! I have large tattoos and she described me as mentally fit to have WLS but that I was a self mutilator (sp?) funny huh? ~Mandy

When the therapist asked me if I'd ever been in trouble with the law, arrested or anything like that, I said no. Then I immediately said, "Define that, cause I was hauled in twice as a teenager for protesting things."

He looked at me sideways, wrote a few notes and said, "That's not what I meant, but thanks for bringing that up." :omg: :faint:

I went to lunch with an old friend I had not socialized with in years last week. Actually 3 of us old friends got together. One of them proceeded to tell us that she hears dead people talking to her! Later in the conversation she is telling us about this friend of hers who died... she is saying "He was a crass old guy but a softie on the inside" at which time she whips her head sideways and say "You were too!". The other friend and I locked eyes and didn't need voices to tell us it was time to call lunch over!!!!

Would LOVE to read her psych exam!!

What are they concerned about here? That you will defeat the band by using too much whipped cream? That the 8 year olds you are dating like to go to McDonalds too often? I mean, whats the issue here?

Maybe that if they force you to remain fat, you won't be able to pick up as many prostitutes! Or that the neighborhood kids will just start to see you as "that fat, sloppy old dude" and run the other way. Hey, could it be that obesity is a cure for all of the weird an disgusting sexual behaviors in the world?:biggrin1: :biggrin1:

I had the biggest issue with the question: T/F: "I never lie." I told him, if I answer true I would be lieing, because I lie to my teenagers all the time. But, I don't do it to be dishonest, I just do it to keep control of my classroom. You know, I tell them if they eat the glue they will die, and that type of stuff. He told me that just by double checking my answer told him alot about me... but did not clarify that. When he called me to tell me he approved me for surgery, I asked him if I was crazy and he said no, but that I thought everyone else in the world was. But I figure everyone thinks they are the sane one in the group... right???

I didn't get to ask questions of anyone while taking my MMPI-2. So when I got to the "I always tell the truth" T/F question, I though about if for a moment, and then looked back at the instructions that said answer true if it is true or mostly true, and false if it is false or mostly false. I had to answer it false, at least it mostly was.... Oooo, I wonder if that makes me a weirdo?

The difference in my case, though, is that I actually am the sane one in the group. :heh:

A lot of us over time, have come to believe that psych people may be; "not all there".

Kat-maybe she was a ghost whisperer!

I don't remember being asked some of those questions, but I do remember us yakking, and I think it got to the point that she started telling me her problems! LOL

Wow--my evaluation was so much easier than all of yours! There was no questionnaire to fill out--we just talked about stuff. She didn't ask me any of those type questions either. It was actually pretty simple. It was kind of nice to talk to someone and get some things off my chest, too. It might have been more fun, though, if I had had an eval like the rest of you!!!
