Seems so far away

The date for my surgery hasn't been set yet. I need to have my psych evaluation (Scheduled for May 11th) and multidisciplinary day which isn't scheduled yet. I hope I have surgery before Christmas. I'm so worried I won't pass the psych evaluation because I am rather goofy, but not in a bad way. I do have depression issues but shouldn't they expect that? Anyway, I got a lot of worry on my mind when it comes to this.

The time will pass quickly and you will do fine on the psych exam I am sure. Look I passed and I didn't even study, heck I never even bought the book. Take the time to do more research on WSL and what to expect. A good source is the book Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies. Keep us all here up to date. Best wishes.

Hon, don't worry about the psych eval.  I was treated for anxiety and depression for a long time before I had surgery.  They are doing a psych eval. to make sure you understand what you are doing and can take care of yourself after the surgery.  If you are crazy like the rest of us, then you'll be fine! 
I can't speak for anyone else or any other center, but my psych eval asked things about hearing voices and stuff like that.  Really, they just need to know that you can follow their directions and that you don't have a diminished mental capacity.

You have a lot to get ready for, but it's worth it, and you can do it!  Don't stress!

The psych eval is a breeze unless you get really nervous and volunteer lots of information that makes you seem too scattered. Just answer the question simply and honestly and then shut up.  


In addition to the rest of the good advice posted, they want to know that you have realistic expectations about surgery.  Your goal is to be healthy and more functional, not to get thin, get rich, get a good man, be a movie star, etc.   

The Psych eval was no big deal. It's mostly to understand if you have a clear realistic expectation of the surgery and after effects.
