Today was my psychological evaluation. I had some butterflies beforehand, but enjoyed it more than I'd imagined! My dumb ass forgot all the paperwork I had filled out in advance, so I had to do it all over again Oh well, good thing I was early.
Once I got back with the doctor, she set me up on a computer to answer about 170 true or false questions. I love filling shit out, so I was all over this! Some of the questions were interesting, all were only a sentence long, and some were thrown in to make sure you were paying attention. I answered truthfully and for the most part, swiftly, however, there were a few that I had to think hard about which way I leaned more on the answer.
Once I was done with the computer test, there were a couple other tests that asked me how I had been feeling for the last one or two weeks, respectively.
After I completed all of the testing, which took approximately 20-30 minutes, I met with the doctor in her office. She asked me a bunch of questions. We talked about why I chose the vertical sleeve gastrectomy over gastric bypass. She asked me about my support system, about what changes I was making in advance of the surgery and checked my understanding of the life changes that will occur after surgery.
So that was that. Not as intimidating as I thought!
