Question:
How long did it take for your psych to write & send the evaluation?

Its been a couple of weeks and mine still hasn't finished...is this normal?    — Amy W. (posted on January 6, 2003)

Luckily my doc and the psychologist were located in the same bldg, my results were done within a couple of days.

My psych wrote the eval in the hour and a half session I had - she was writing as she was talking to me. She let me read it for any errors or additional comments, and faxed it the same day! I was so lucky to have someone well versed in bariatric surgery.

Mine was done and sent within a few days even though I had to take the MMPI twice. But I think 2 weeks is normal. Good luck and BB!

I called the surgeon's office a few days after my eval. They had not gotten the results so I called the psych's office. They needed my signature to release it and were just holding it. Once I faxed them an ok to release they sent it on.

CALL THE OFFICE! I was told it would take one week well after a week it wasn't done and I just had to stay on it. I can't remember but I think it took closer to 3 weeks than 2. Best wishes:)!!!

My first psych was taking forever, which was annoying since I was on a deadline for approval. However, this ended up being great because she ended up not approving me and I had to tell her in no uncertain terms NOT to send her report on, and then zip to another psych ASAP. My point...make sure you're going to "pass" at least, during the whole waiting game...we deserve to know at least that much, don't you think?

My eval took about 3 weeks. They told me it could take up to 4 as they mailed it off to be graded. But luckily it was closer to 3.
