I have bipolar disorder and depression and schizoaffective disorder. Will these diagnoses rule me out for being a candidate of the lapband procedure? What kind of questions are asked during the evaludation and what do they look for?
I need to lose 70+ lbs to get to my healthy weight. I have dieted and exercised and lost a little gained a lot. I'm on a rollercoaster ride with this and I'm ready to get off. I know that with the lapband it's not a miracle procedure but only a tool to help me lose weight. I am fully prepared to follow through with what the doctor tells me to do and what I should eat and drink.
But my main question is what is the psych evaluation like?
Thanks,
