Krystyneh 55 Posted December 7, 2016 What can I expect? I have mine on Tuesday. This is only my first one and I have to have 2 at least 30 days apart. I just don't know what I should expect Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laceemouse 631 Posted December 7, 2016 It was easy. They will ask you about the history of your weight problems and what diets you have tried. They also want to be sure you understand what you are getting into and that you have a support system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweetchef76 11 Posted December 7, 2016 Wow. 25?!. My psych evaluation also included a "personally test" that asks the same questions over and over but in a different context. The test was also making sure I wasn't depressed, suicidal or angry with the world. It was pretty smooth sailing. You will be just fine Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have PCOS and gained my weight due to it and struggled since age 12 and I'm now 29. Getting bullied due to my weight so that caused me to be depressed.

sweetchef76 11 Posted December 7, 2016 I am sorry to hear that. I think it is safe to say all of us have probably endured some sort of depression due the size we were, even without the bullying from others. Go in there with a great attitude and your head held high. They usually only are able to know what you tell them! Just go with your gut and keep focused on what it is you want... a healthier life! Good Luck! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christina.Rose 287 Posted December 8, 2016 I have PCOS and PTSD (depression/anxiety)with current medications. They want to know that its under control, that you have a support system, not suicidal, homicidal lol....., have realistic goals for weight loss, are doing it to be healthy and be a part of a personal improvement goal, not as if this surgery will FIX you and make all problems go away. Fyi, my ringtone is a song that starts out saying "Are you insane like me" and of course I got a call in the middle of my psych eval. Luckily we both just laughed. Im getting sleeved Dec 16th. Good luck! Sent from my SM-J700P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
