Welcome! As other's have said - the test itself may take a while but the psych uses the information to see if you are mentally ready for all the changes. Mine also wanted to make sure that I had a good support network, and that I was ready for any changes in relationships that might happen, and gave suggestions to help with that. He/She also will probably help you with any other issues that you have. For example, I smoked, so he helped me with issues with quitting....not that it lasted much past surgery, but it helped for the 4-5 months prior to surgery. Best of luck to you on your journey, and be sure to keep us updated on your progress!

Welcome to the boards. You'll love it here. There are so many wonderful people here. I have no advise for you since you are with a different surgeon. But wanted to wish you well. Lori
