awesome for you! :D <3 excited and congrats so far! |
The psychologist uses various means (some have taken a lengthy questionaire, some have just talked, some have had numerous meetings) to determine that you are capable of sticking to the plan, you don't have unrealistic expectations of the Band, you don't have an eating disorder which could cause problems if you are banded, and that you know it will be a life-long commitment, among other things. Everyone's experience has been different. The main piece of advice I can give is to use whatever doctor your surgeon refers you to instead of striking out on your own, unless you are already seeing someone. Most surgeons have a group of doctors they work with for all of their testing and they know exactly what the surgeon is looking for.
Good luck!
