Gary...my insurance company didn't require a psych evaluation but my surgeon did. My dr. only dealt with one psychiatrist and he has a reputation for being tough. I thought at first that I fluncked the test because I told him that I was a grazer as well as a binger and he said that statistics show that bingers don't do as well with the surgery because bingers can eat alot of calories in a day without getting full and therefore regain weight. What he did was make me very aware of binging and I know longer do it, so in my case I learned alot from my evaluation. Good luck and God Bless.
