Psych Eval Went...er...okay???

I went to the psych eval today and now I'm a little worried, he had me to take this almost 600 written personality test, then he had me to come into his office and he asked me questions about my family history, eating habits, etc. I couldn't get a read on him, and I don't know what he was thinking...I know I shouldn't be trying to figure every little thing out but this has gotten me rather befuddled...or maybe I'm just reading to much into the whole situation and should sit somewhere quietly and await my results? I don't know guys maybe it's because I'm so anxious to have everything in order and get this surgery done??? ARRGGGGHH!!!

I had to answer questions also and look at pictures and tell a story about each one...then I had to answer 500 plus questions that were true or false....I guess thats how they can tell if we are sane or not... Hang in there Yolanda you will be fine!! Hugs Judy

That test is not the best way to prove someone's sanity...the test itself will drive you crazy LOL!!

LOL or make you go blind from coloring in all the little circles

Yolanda, I went through the same sort of thing with my Psyc Eval. I filled out a short answer question booklet about my life, my family, my eating habits, my job, my fears... my cats... you name it. The doc looked it over and asked a bunch of questions, had me explain the surgery to him (what parts will be re-routed)... WHY I wanted to do it... Then I watched a video and took a 300-400 multiple guess quiz, then another shorter one. They had my stuff back to my surgeon in a week. Indeed I felt like a looney-tune... but I think that is part of the game. If you can handle this, you're good to go. My psych said he was not in the business of flunking people... IF (and that is a big IF) there are concerns, they will talk to you some more and send you on your way. My psych said that 90% of his patients pass go and collect their $200... if you are going to flunk... they normally can tell the minute you walk through the door. Don't sweat it! YOU WILL do fine!

3 days now. Thanks for the informative post. As you know I am seeing Dr. Williams on Monday at 10:15. How long did all of that take? I will say a prayer for you that morning. Hugs! Tammy

Mine was strange. It was about 10 minutes. He asked me about my education and such. I thought that was very odd. When he was done, I said, 'is that all?' I thought for sure there would be much more to it! Robin

I didn't have a 500-600 question session, but I managed to FAIL my psych exam! It wasn't funny then but I got the last laugh in my appeal when I told that she specialized in GERIATRIC psychology, not BARIATRIC!! Guess I wasn't old enough for her!!
