psych eval should i tell the truth

ive already had the lapband for 3 years and i am revising to rny. My surgeon has his own psych that is mainly a bunch (175) questions. Some of them have to do with meds, depression, memory, panic, and anxiety, I take all kinds of meds for those. Im not sure I should tell them because I dont want to get this close to my revision andfail because I gave the wrong answers. My depression hasnt really been about my weight but recently I just want to get the weight off because I cant stand being fat anymore. What do you think?

Of course you should be honest about your meds and the reasons for them.  The reasons for the psych eval are to determine if you will be able to be compliant with the regimen of the lifestyle changes after the surgery.  You can't go back and undo the surgery, but you could do harm to yourself if you do not follow the rules of having RNY.  The post-op diet is strict, especially the first six weeks, during the healing process.  If your mental health issues prevent you from following the rules of the diet and other guidelines, you can do serious harm to yourself.

That being said, I am on a variety of meds, and have bipolar disorder, and am a recovering alcoholic, and that did not prevent me from getting RNY. 

If you are not already in therapy, I suggest you start, so that you can start working through the emotions that will be coming up post-op, because eating disorders don't go away with surgery.  The surgery is a tool.  Like they say around my neck of the woods, I didn't have surgery on my head, but my stomach.  My thinking and emotions contributed to my morbid obesity.

Absolutely, you should tell the truth.  No question about it.  If you get into trouble and you aren't honest then they won't be able to help you in the way that you need.  Lying or keeping information from your doctor is not in your best interest.

You will be happy to know I did. I told the truth. And they were concerned over something I did not think about. I need a doctor to monitor my meds after surgery because of absorbtion levels may be different.
