In my experience that is what the psche eval is for. They have to

let you know all the cons of the surgery so you will know what you

are up against and you will need to know how to handle each scenario

should it come up.

Weight loss surgery is not an easy solution to being overweight.

There are many factors involved in this process and some people are

more apt to be able to handle all of the possibilities than others

and this is what they are looking for in a psyche eval.

After a certain amount of weight is lost you have to work just as

hard as anyone else to get the rest of it off and to keep it off and

many people do not understand this going into it.

If you do have problems surrounding depression that need to be dealt

with it is so much better to deal with them BEFORE the surgery. it

will make things go so much easier for you in the end.

You want what's best for yourself in the end don't you? I know it

seems like this surgery is the answer to your problems right now but

really it only fixes the outside of us not the inside of us.

The depression doesn't just disappear once we lose weight nor do all

the other problems we have inside.

I am dealing with my compulsions to overeat and eat the wrong foods

every day still. It is an ongoing battle and one I will have to

fight the rest of my life. Surgery didn't fix that and it didn't fix

the reasons for my overeating.

Take care of the inside and worry about the outside after. You will

be glad you did.
