I live in southern Maryland which is a wasteland for health services, but close enough to DC/NoVA that I selected a hospital/surgeon about an hour away (90 minutes in traffic). I used their suggested doctor for my psychiatric assessment (who is even further away) but she said I needed to see someone regularly throughout the process (I have anxiety that's not well controlled and depression that's well controlled).
Right now I'm scheduled to keep seeing her (and she's willing to do some phone appointments so it's not really terrible), but how do I find a therapist (closer!) who is familiar with WLS for long term care?
Thanks,
Denise
