Mrs. Rob

Is there anyone in Virginia scheduled for their surgery in June/July?

Welcome to the form Alice.

Hey I saw your video I like it, I subscribe to your video so that I can constantly get updates it looks liked I have a surgery buddy thanks. I'm wishing you the best of luck with your appointment.

I'm sorry to hear that your psych eval was rescheduled. Hopefully you can catch up with the psychologist so that things can continue to go smoothly for you. My psych eval went very smoothly, she gave her approval on the first visit. what channel on YouTube? i want to follow your progress. . I am so excited for us....

Welcome to the group BeckyVSG2b, I started my journey in January also. My estimated surgery date should be around June. I have completed my Psych Eval and now I just have 3 more nutritionists visits. I see we both are on our way to a new beginning.

Thanks so much, I am nervous about the approval process.

Hello, I'm a newbie. I live in Newport News, VA. I see the physician at the CFWL. I am planning to have hopefully my approval and surgery around July. i am looking for support. Thanks

Well that's good that you recognize that. I too am a stressful eater and and the process of trying to re-configure my mind and instead of eating when I'm stressed do other things more counterproductive like walk. I know that this is a life-changing situation and I welcome it. I think I'd be happier and a lot less anxious once I get that approval letter from my insurance company. Mrs Rob

I understand and I've heard that the psych evaluation for some people are long but I'm glad mine's wasn't but 45 minutes, and she just talk to me and ask me questions that was it. I'm kind of hoping that I do have sleep apnea because if I do my insurance will automatically approve my surgery, but if I don't then they just going to base it on my BMI which is 41 without any comorbidities. I just want this whole process to be over with and my surgery to come quick lol Mrs Rob

The psych evaluation was pretty quick she only talked to me for about 45 minutes and then she gave me a clearance. I am scheduled for my sleep study next month on the 26th. With the psych evaluation they just want to make sure that you're not going to turn to be anorexic or bulimic Mrs Rob

I am in my 6 month waiting period & nutrition Consulting stage that is required by my insurance right now, hopefully I'll be having my surgery around June or July I can't wait I already had my psych eval. I'm just excited about starting a new phase in my life.

Congratulations this is going to be your year. Mrs Rob

I am going to have my surgery hopefully around June or July. I'm scheduled for my sleep study in February. I've already had my psych equal. I can't wait Sent from my VS835 using BariatricPal mobile app
