Psych eval
Hi there,
I have read several answers on OH about psych evals. But, I am still worried, just received large packet with several sheets, two different booklets. There are so many questions, not only about me, but about my family, immediate and distant. I know I have to be honest, but I don't want my siblings or parents issues to affect me getting my surgery. My pcp, nut and surgeon all feel as though I am a great candidate for surgery. The psych eval is my last hurdle, then they will arrange pre-op. My question is, am I worrying my self too much about it?
Thanks,
Leslie
Don't sweat it too much. Mine just said they are looking for ways to help deal with any eating/food issues I might have to help me prepare for life with a sleeve. Your family history is not counted against you. If the other pros think you're a good candidate, I'm sure the psych. will say the same.
