Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi all. I can't remember if I asked you guys this yet or not. My psych evaluation is finally scheduled for wednesday.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi , With my experience, (I'm still pre-op), my psychiatrist asked me what I knew about WLS. I was happy that I had researched a lot of it, and knew a lot of the risk involved. My psychiatrist told me that the people that go in there uninformed were the ones she sent away telling them to get more information. Just think this is helpful when knowing how to prepare. Thanks, wrote: Hi all. I can't remember if I asked you guys this yet or not. My psychevaluation is finally scheduled for wednesday. I'm really excited!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi , I was nervous about my psych evaluation but it went really well. She asked me about my history in losing weight, what I had done to prepare and seemed pleased that I had already given up caffeine and carbonated drinks. That I had already been to a support group meeting and was reading this group was also a plus. She liked that I had active exercise (running in agility with my dogs) planned for after the bypass. You sound informed and prepared so I think you'll do great! Pam Psych Evaluation? Hi all. I can't remember if I asked you guys this yet or not. My psychevaluation is finally scheduled for wednesday.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 They just ask you some questions and also want insight into why you wanna do this, and what you hope to get out of it. Pretty standard. They just wanna see what frame of mind are you in, in terms of making this decision, and whether you understand all the ramifications involved. LISA > > Hi all.
