Anyone else feel like they're going to flunk the psych test/visit or is it just me? lol My friend had to take this test and gave me an example of a question. I'm SO going to flunk this. LOL!

Don't sweat it, you will be fine. In my opinion, these tests are to see about your support system, your eating habits, etc..... They just want to make sure you're mentally prepared for surgery and that you understand that the surgery is just a tool for weight loss. Good luck with your evaluation!! Keep us posted.

Lol. I don't think you can "flunk " per se. It's really just a way to make sure you are ready for this huge change mentally. My psych eval seemed almost like a quiz on what I had learned in my nutritional appts. I have to admit the last three questions were odd to me. 1. Who is our president. 2. How many quarters in a dollar. 3. Is Mickey Mouse a mouse, dog, or cat?

I'm preop and new to this site, but I've never seen anyone on the boards who failed the psych test. Maybe if you're intelligent enough to seek out answers on this board, you are good enough to pass a psych eval. lol

Mine was easy-peasy and I'm NOT the most mentally stable person I know!

ok. So now I'm actually looking forward to seeing the psych after yesterday's big time anxiety attack. ugh I'm not even going to mention it and save that for a different visit. I need her to sign the sign the "OK" for surgery first. LOL!
