15 minutes, but I'm guessing this one will be longer. Is it an hour?

I think it just depends upon how much you need to talk/ This is YOUR time, too...not just a formality. You can address fears or concerns or whatever...and talk it out. LLLORY@... wrote:

Hmmm...when my PCP referred me to the Bariatric program he mentioned

the Pysch clearance or whatever you want to call it. So I decided

to get that out of the way while waiting to hear of my acceptance to

the program. Now I'm thinking do I have to do it again with someone

hey assign to me? I basically got the okay from the Kaiser Redwood

City Pysch Dept. During the orientation they didn't mention

anything about getting a pysch eval at all. Is it mandatory thing

for everyone?

Also, how many times are we required to meet with a nurtitionist?

Do we go as needed (after the initial one) or is it a series of

meetings with Beth?

No, it's only mandatory for ...because he's crazy. Hee hee.

The reality is that some of the bariatric departments have just recently employed their own psychiatrists. I don't think it's a "clearance" in the same sense that the earlier psych eval was...rather, it is just a check in to get a reading on how you are doing with the whole decision train going out of the station.

As for nutrition, there is a mandatory class, at least in Richmond, that they will schedule you for...similar to the orientation.
