I did my psych evaluation last week. Today they called and said the doctor wanted to discuss the results of the testing. Has anyone else had this? I'm freaking out thinking this is going to delay everything.

Did the dr. who did the eval say anything about it when you completed it?

When i got done with mine she told me that she was going to approve me and send my evaluation over to the doctors office.

She just said she would look at it and call me if there was anything to discuss. But everything was basic questions.

Try not to worry too much. Perhaps she just needed clarification or needed some additional information. I know it's easier said than done.. best of luck to you!!

Thank you for the replies. I'm just going to wait and see what happens. I just want to stay on track to get surgery.

I had to have an appointment with the doctor and he just went over the tests and asked me some questions. He gave me a lot of advice and it was actually one of the better doctor visits I had.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. In my program we were told that the main objective is just to ensure that you have a realistic outlook and knowledge about the procedure you will be undergoing.

Mine didn't require any sort of written test. It was a straight on one to one discussion with the psychologist. And like the other poster said, I was also told at the end that she would be recommending me for surgery.

I'm sure yours will do the same.

Mine was the same one page of a few questions asking about general feeling of mental state do u feel hopeless worthless are wanting to hurt yourself and a brief chat with the shrink and at the end was told I'd be approved oh she asked the reason why I wanted the surgery and what my expectations were etc I was just honest mom had diabetes and died as a result of not being willing to change habits etc and that I knew it wasn't going to be a miracle that I'd have to comply with the right foods and some excercise etc the whole thing was maybe 30 mins I sat there for two hours waiting while they had overbooked patients all for the same time and what can u say if u get pissed or leave u get denied

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
