Am new here and am woundering how people are handling your mental evaluation and if your person is supportive cause I went yesterday and mine doesn't seem to be at all.She is making me come back next week for a questionnaire and said that would determine if she said yes.

I haven't gotten a date yet as I got to get this done and approved first and then I will let everyone no when it is.

Sorry you are having such a hard time. Just remember..... if she says no, go elsewhere. In fact, all they can really do is advise. She may ask you to go to a counseling session or two, but that's about it. I hated the social worker that I saw. She was a bossy now-it-all and everything I said, she turned around. I finally just shut up and agreed with everything she said. And I passed.

This can be a long journey. Some people can't get a date for up to 9 months, all the while going thru all the motions. Just don't get discouraged. It will come together if you are persistent.
Always come here for help. We all have had different experiences, but the journeys are similar.

Maybe you need to find a different psychologist. My analyst was very positive and supportive. We did it in one session and it was great. She seemed very happy with my decision to have this done.

My psychologist was recommended by my surgeon, she is a bariatric specialist in her field. She is 10 years out from R-N-Y and was very supportive of everything. She knows first hand what it is like and that makes a huger difference.
All of us were required to do 3 "tests" to determine our personality types which does help to determine coping skills and how we feel about ourselves which is all needed to help determine success.

I was put on a mild anti-anxiety med to help deal with all of the fast and major changes associated weight loss, new attention due to weight loss and the self issues that all go along with the changes.

Just because she asked you to come back does not mean she failed you. It means there may be some issues that you need to deal with. That's not a bad thing to get on the road to enduring success.

Hi Christy 24
You probably didn't finish your psych eval. I know I had to fil out a long questionare And have an interview. I'm thinking you just ran out of time that day. Don't worry it's a waste of time, energy, and happiness.
