psychological evaluation

[Morticia666 3]

Hello everyone,

I haven't had my surgery yet, but hoping for the surgery to be pretty soon!!! Tomorrow I have my psyc-evaluation, I have to admit I am pretty nervous!!! But excited at the same time since I also have a support group later tomorrow as well.

I honestly dont know what to expect from it!! I am kinda curious and would like to know ur experience with this so called psychological evaluation... thank u!

Hi Morticia,<br />To be honest, I was very nervous about the Psyche evaluation but it was not as bad as I thought it could be. They are looking to see if you have any severe psychological issues, if you have any drug or alcohol addictions. I spoke with the Dr. for about 20 minutes about why I wanted the surgery and what I expected the surgery to do for me. I then answered a multiple choice test of about 900 questions asking a number of questions about my eating habits, mental state of mind, addictions, personality traits etc. Sometimes the same question is asked multiple times but worded differently. Just be honest with your self, the test and the doctor and you should be fine. If you act like you are trying to hide something the doctor might think you are hiding "issues" and he/she might be inclined to stall your surgery. Don't worry about anything, just go in there with the attitude that you've got this and complete the interview and the written test. You will do great.

Mine was spread out in 2 days. The first day, was just a consultation, we spoke for about 30 minutes or so about why I was looking into it, was I expected afterwards. Then the 2nd day, was last Friday, that is when I had the test, it was 567 questions of true or false. Same type questions as the previous poster mentioned. It was easy and I even got my results today too. Yay!!
