Lemm61 206 Posted January 26, 2016 I just did mine. Written part is truly common sense. In the discussion portion, they are looking for several things: how realistic are your expectations, what does your support system look like, how committed are you to the vast changes needed to be successful with diet and exercise. I'd never seen a Psych Doc or been in Therapy, so I was nervous too, but it was really fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shiloh2004 20 Posted January 27, 2016 Waiting for the results of my psych eval. Get them tomorrow morning along with my consult. This is the last step for me in order to be approved for my vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I am nervous abot getting the results. I have problems with depression and anxiety anyway, so I see a therapist twice a week. She will continue to be part of my support team. I was very honest when I took the test. I thought the psychologist and surgeon deserved to truly know the real me. I want this surgery badly for so many reasons. Wish me luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bb8 4 Posted January 28, 2016 I have depression and anxiety, and I was worried that that might negatively impact me, too. But the psychologist just encouraged me to monitor my anxiety and to come see her if at any point I started to feel like it was too much, and she said I was good to go. Got my surgery last Thursday. So I know you will be fine! Sending you good vibes. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
