Psych Eval on Monday



Recommended Posts

What kind of questions did the doctor ask you at this appointment? I am just curious. Although I am a counselor, I have never been to a therapist so I am a little anxious.:tt2:

The psych eval is a personality test. You will take it on a computer. The test is 500+ questions. Seems like a lot, but I did mine in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Some of the questions...

Do you love your Mom/Dad?

Do you hear voices?

Do you see visions?

Are you afraid of the dark?

Do you do drugs?

Attempted or thought about suicide?

Do you think you are attractive?

If you were an artist, would you like to draw flowers?

Do you ever feel like swearing?

Do you want to be a race car driver?

Seriously, these are some of the questions!

There are some off the wall questions, but by your answers, the therapist will score you. They are all true/false questions. Just be honest in answering them.

Thanks for the info! Makes me feel so much better.:tt2:

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Guess I'll live.

I didn't have to do a test on a computer. Mine just asked me some questions to see if I was mentally ready to do weight loss surgery.

Ditto, no forms. Just about 20 min. of questions you would expect, and then a few more waiting while he filled in some info. Don't sweat it (although I did too). -BG

I also had mine on Monday. First I colored in about 290 questions regarding my relationships/love/support/personal feelings. Second test was about my relationship with food (about 75 questions) and finally 25 questions regarding my relationship with close family. All hree also had questions regarding suicide. Then I talked to the dr for another 45 minutes.

Main thing is I PASSED. I was actually told that I was an excellent candidate. Yeah me!:tt2:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
