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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
