Psych visit

I have my psych visit this week and am wondering what kind of questions they ask?

Very deep and personal! You will feel violated by the time you walk out of there.... if you can even function in so much as walking.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. okay I am just kidding with you. It isn't bad, but I guess it depends on the person. I just had my followup with Dr. West-Smith today and thought that it went very well.. at least I didn't get a trip to the padded rooms.

Sorry my computer kinda froze up on me.

LOL! So I don't need to bring along the KY hunh?

Well if you haven't used it all yet you could take it with ya. I would love to see the look on their faces when you come prepared.

Melanie The test is long and they repeat the questions in different ways to try to confuse you . My take on it is they want to know you are independent of others opinion and well meaning ways. For example.....when people say you want to try this and you know you cant . Or the family says you are not eating enough. Just be honest and it will be ok, Good luck.

I went to the one at Norton's and she only talk to me about 15 minutes. told me she knew I had did all the homework and felt I understood it all. Never gave me any questions. We talked some about death rate of the surgery but not to big deal. good luck to you

Its a piece of cake... I think they are trying to figure out if you have an eating disorder, aside from overeating... ;) Just be honest....you'll be fine!

well I had surgery before psych evals and dietician classes. But I think what they want to know is whether or not you understand the surgery..have an understanding of what changes will occur and totally understand lifestyle changes. I don't think anyone should have this surgery if they don't "get it"..know what I mean?
