I was told my True Results my Psychological Evaluation would take 2 hours. Are they really that long? What all do they ask? Just wondering...

My eval took about an hour. I had to fill out a questionaire with no less than 200 random questions. I think the actual test was to see if I would finish or give up. I think it was a waste of time and I had to pay out of pocket.

I have 2 psych appointments which each appointment is approximately 1 hour each. I was thinking the same thing. I have one next week and another in the following week.

Mine took about 30 minutes. I was asked a bunch of questions. Then I filled out a 25 question form and that was followed up with some additional questions and then he printed my letter and I was out of there. They noted that if the 25 question form did score right that I'd have to do a much longer one. I was given a list of about 20 people that could do the evaluation, but they noted one took my insurance and that was who I went to, so I paid a $30copay.

Mine was several hours, because there were several hundred questions. Then I had a 20 minute interview with the psychologist. Mainly I was asked questions about how I looked at life, was I prepared for the changes I'd need to make and if I had realistic expectations of how much weight I could expect to lose.

I had a $60 copay, 344 questionnaire, a few other forms and about 10-15 minute visit with the doctor. I did all of this in about an hour. You should be going to the same place I did on Fannin Street in Houston. Remember to ask for a Saturday appointment and good luck.

      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.
