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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
