Did you get your surgery date before your psych eval because im already approved through my insurance but the my surgeons office won't give me a date until i do all this clearance stuff. And im just wondering the process is this normal.

Yes, I had my surgery date before me psych eval but was told if the couselor felt something was wrong, a red flag would be given to the surgeon and my surgery could be delayed or canceled. I think my process is moving faster because I am paying cash and not have to go through the insurance red tape.

I was "approved" before my psych eval or any other work ups but was not allowed to have a surgery date until all tests were done and I lost 10% of excessive weight. Now I just have to keep off the weight and wait for December 6th.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
