Hello there

K so I'm going for my Psych Eval tomorrow .. Super nervous about that.. How does that go ???

Hello,

I was really worried about it to but it's super easy. They just ask you questions. And make sure your not suicidal.

I agree with Greene. The evaluation is simple. It seemed to want to make sure your self esteem is OK, you are not suicidal, and are realistic about what the surgery can and can't do for you. Just relax and be honest

Mine was pretty easy as well, she also looked for stress that might prohibit success and eating disorders. (Besides overeating)

Wellll I'm just going to tell mine that I know the surgery is a tool, and I don't expect it to do the losing for me. I'm ready for the healthy lifestyle. I need energy again, I'm always tired.. I lose breath quickly and I feel dizzy when I lose breath ( urggggg ) are you ladies from Ny ? If so do any of you have Health First ????

Mine was easy-peasy -- just had problems with the doc not faxing over the clearance letter for about 5 weeks -- ugh

I saw the psych that I've seen for 8 years -- treated for depression and bipolar. I don't think I've seen anyone on these boards who got denied the surgery for psych reasons. I think the only thing you could "fail" on would be if you have some major eating disorder that you're not in treatment for.

Some people have to fill out long questionnaires and have more stringent evaluations than I had but I wouldn't stress over this too much. If you're honest about answers and admit your problems, you'll do fine.

I jokingly think that if you're smart enough to be on these boards asking questions and looking for help with your problems, you can pass the psych eval.

Best wishes!

I agree with Ginger Snaps, if you are asking questions you are smart enough to be ok. :-) I did know someone that was denied on the psych eval; they said she had too much stress in her life to make such a major change. But she was able to go back later and they approved her.

Mine was so easy!! My psych wrote an amazing letter for me. My surgeon even commented that the psych must have really seen my drive to lose weight

What did he write ? Mine wrote that I was ready to commit for the surgery, that I want to lose 100 lbs or more

He said I was a "sassy and brilliant young woman with a zest for life" teehee

Mine wrote I was well put together and prepared for the surgery.
