Psych eval
I was supposed to have my psych eval on October 16th, but due to an insurance glitch I had to put it off until after Nov 1. So now it is on November 6th at 11am. I know for sure that the DR I am seeing gives the MMPI personality test as part of the eval. I have taken one before. It was long and crazy. After the psych eval I can schedule my consult with my surgeon. I am getting excited. Can't wait to get this done. Wish I would have done it 2 years ago when I first started the whole process.

I already had a DR. who i see every couple of months for my bi polar. He and I chatted and he gave me a 100% and the go ahead for the surgery!! He didn't do the MMPI. I guess because he already knows me? I don't know if mental illness is an automatic NO for surgery? It was not for me. I am so glad all of the testing is behind me. I know who much of a struggle it is. Hang in there...its sooo worth it when you finally get a date!!!! The only test i have left to do is the EEG (?)
The one where they put the little camera down your throat. I will have that on the 9Th of Jan. I guess my surgeon just wants it done so he knows what he is getting into and if there is anything he needs to fix he will know b4 he gets in there. I think I might have a hital hernia..if i do he will fix it while he is in there. : - )
Again...its worth it. Is be patient. ( i know how hard that is...its easier said then done...LOL)

MMPI = Minnesota MultiPhasic Personality Inventory. It was created by a couple of U of MN shrinks back in the early 40's (updated in the 80's) and is still the gold standard for personality tests. It consists of about 500 Yes/No questions that are designed to diagnose everything from Schizophrenia to Depression and also reports whether the subject is trying to fake out the test.
If you have to take this test plan to be at it for a couple of hours :)

Nice of you to say so Amanda!
I've just updated my profile...my claim was submitted for approval today. In about a week I should hear whether the surgery has been approved. I have to wait until late January (I work for a big eCommerce site and can't get away until after Holiday is over) so I', not too worried about getting a date.

I'm with you girl. After the holidays is better for me too. I was suppose to have it back in OCT.
I changed it because hubby couldn't get time off to take care of me until after the new year. I was so sad when i had to make that call to the surgeons office and reschedule. Now i am kinda glad it worked out that way. I have a really hard time during the holidays being away from my family in CA. I am so busy with the kids and getting ready for Thanksgiving/Christmas/New years that i may not have focused on me as much as i should have.
Jan is going to be good. It will be the first new years resolution that ill make and actually keep!!
( loss weight and be healthy...LOL)
Keep us posted on how your doing and when you get a date!!
