Skywalker

he wasn't a doctor specializing in wls? it's hard for us to understand the choices we made for ourselves, but I wouldn't expect even a psychiatrist to know how we think. ask your surgeon for the name of a psychiatrist they use. wish you luck

@Terry--Thanks. I'm a little calmed down from the other day (that actually had me in tears because I didn't feel like he listened to me) but I think I'm doing a little better. This guy is a licensed clinical social worker that specializes in veterans, and nothing bariatric. I'm just going to have to figure out how to work around him and get a favorable opinion, I'm asking the bariatric office right now for a psychiatrist they work with. Oh, the hoops we have to jump through to lead a healthier life, huh? Our health plans don't always work with us.....

Skywalker...oh my...didn't realize it was not a bariatric psycho! You need to go to one that your doctor recommends...I had to pay out of pocket, but it's worth it to have someone that actually understands what we are going thru...and THAT's the letter your doctor will probably use...

Good luck...don't give up!
