Question:
What kind of stuff can i expect when i see the psych dr?
This is my last step before my info goes to the insurance company for approval. I am very very nervous. — tatormagoo (posted on January 25, 2009)

Lots and lots of questions! I had to answer about 100 questions on paper
and then she went over my answers and then she talked to me and asked me
more questions.

Same as above. Basic questions, married, single, etc. & then what do
you do for a living, why do you want to have the surgery, etc. It's not
big deal. You'll do just fine.

Lisa, my eval was done through an interactive computer program where he
asked questions and then marked answers and I was able to see all that he
was putting in. He asked alot of questions pertaining to what was going on
in all aspects of my life,including work and family. He also wanted to make
sure I was aware of the risks and the lifestyle change it was going to
involve. One thing I was told in my seminar was to answer only what they
were asking, mainly yes and no and don't elaborate unless asked to.

My dr was super nice. He really just wants to know that you are ready to
mentally be able to handle surgery and if your expectations are realistic.
Do you know what you are going to have to do after surgery to take care of
yourself and what are you going to have to do to be healthy and successful.

I just had my pysch consult last thursday, and I just sat in a super comfy
chair lol, and answered tons of questions about my health, about my weight
gain, how my child hood was, what things I have tried to lose weight, yada
yada yada, literally!! I spent an hour just answering questions. After we
were done, I asked if I "passed" and he told me I did a great
job!! =-D

My Psych doc was a Lapband friendly doctor who sees patients at my surgeons
office. There was a 400 question report to do ahead of time at home. The
office visit was a breeze, just be yourself and be truthful and you will be
just fine. Good luck on your journey to the new you!!

Hi,when I had my psych eval, the doctor just asked me a few questions, then
had me do a long questionaire...was in the office maybe 1hr. Nothing to
sweat...you will do just fine.
