I was just curious about the psychological exams. What are those like and will they look down on you if you already have a diagnosed mental illness? I just went to my orientation and was a little nervous about this.

Another friend here to bounce off of if you need, I went Lapband route but we all face the trials and bumps in the road. I had started off originally at 240 got to 155 then had to have 3 surgeries to fix what had started as a crack in the tubing. Port got infected from 2nd surgery so I ended up having it taken out and then later replaced. I gained back to 225 during that time but am at 177 now so I am on track.
