I had mine done in Lubbock, TX with Dr. David Syn. His office is like a well oiled machine. He and the staff are kind and very efficient. They work the process very quickly and will do everything they can to ensure your insurance approves you. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my psych eval in February 2017 and this did not come up at all. My doc has requested i walk 20 mins a day 2x a day. But tis all. Can you go to another psych?
