Mine was a test a ridiculous retarded 567 question, color in the circle with a number 2 pencil test (that was the exact number of questions 567!!)

Questions like "Have you ever wished you were a forest ranger".

When I had my mine, their main concern was transfer addictions. They don't want people to replace the food and the feelings with alcohol, drugs, sex, or gambling, all that sorts. It wasn't as bad as I thought either, the cost however wasn't covered by insurance and cost me $400. The end result will be worth it though. You will do just fine at your eval ????

Mine was the same 567 question and fill in the bubbles plus questions on the computer about the same stuff was a piece of cake

Just curious. Im not sure that I have to take that kind of test, but when there are so many questions (like 567!!) did you find yourself answering what you thought they wanted you to answer, or were the questions so obscure that you couldn't even tell what the proper answer was??

I did not have a questionnaire. It was more just a one-on-one talk. She wanted to make sure my expectations were realistic, that my bipolar disorder was stable and that I was informed about everything that happens.

be honest..... its a psych test.... they throw in questions on purpose to see if you are lying for instance

"if someone at work told you a dirty joke, would you laugh"... I said yes... cause I would. Does that mean I will be a sex addict post op...no! LOL Stupid a## test.

Some evaluations use the testing tool and others are more like a psychological assessment.

You have to answer truthfully, if you don't they can tell -- the test has this built in (essentially they ask some questions several different ways). It's nothing to worry about, just be honest. :)

Interesting to see how different everyone's Psych eval's were. I met with the psychologist and we talked for about an hour, then he set me in front of a computer to take a 400 question test. Before he left me to take the test, he told me that he was going to recommend to my team that I have surgery and told me he believed I was going to do well. And, he said something pretty profound, "We just don't want to give our clients a tool, that they might hurt themselves with." Anyway, good luck today!!!

I feel really fortunate that my "test" was only 136 questions. Fill in the bubble kind, but not 567!

      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.
