Hi there. I had my psych eval last Friday. It lasted 3 hours. I was expecting 1 hour. I think the lady probably thought i talked too much and wished she could find my off switch. I wished I could find my off switch. Anyway now I have completed everything and now one week later I"m anervous wreck waiting to find out if I"m approved. This is a whole lot harder than I thought. The waiting I mean. I don't think you have to worry about them saying you"re unfit for surgery. If you seem to be a functioning person getting by in todays world I imagine you will pass.

Hello everyone..had my psych eval started yesterday. I wasn't sure what to expect so I went in opened mindedly. As the questions were asked I answered. As the Doc is writing on the paper, she kept looking at me and shaking her head. I don't know..I just didn't get a good feeling about it all. I was there for a hour and still not done with the thing. The Doc just kept looking at me and shaking her head as if to say "No wonder this poor woman is FAT! Her life is so screwed up!."So the time ended and she asked me how I felt ..I said Sad. again she just shook her and made the sound...you know the one you make when you can't believe what you are hearing.
What was your experience? Can the Doc say I am not fit to have the surgery eventhough I have overcome sooo much in the past 10 years?

Thank you so very much...Did you hear Borders Books is closing...definately will be trying to find one in my area..in the meantime..off to the local library for me.
 Have a great day!!

I'm sorry it took so long to respond... I only check in once or twice a month now.

I'm 39 as of May this year. I have loose skin on my arms and thighs and the breasts are pretty well deflated. So I won't wear shorts or short-sleeved/sleeveless shirts. I work out at the gym, but NO amount of work at the gym is going to get rid of my excess skin - be it cardio or strength training. I have consulted with Dr. Shack for plastic surgery at Vanderbilt. I was very happy with the meeting I had with him and I am leaning in that direction for surgery. However, I will interview at least two more surgeons before I make a decision. I don't plan to have surgery until March/April next year, so I'm putting off any more consults until the fall.
