I am seven months in next month....uh I missed the psychology doc apt some how... So I have it july 16..

So I guess after that I see a surgeon??and my papers get sent to the insurance.. PS I quit smoking in april.. You have to have quit 3 months before surgery..I pay $40 co pay a visit..and $375 nutrition fee..$2000 surgery co pay..but all worth it to be healthy

It just seems so far away

It does at times seem like it is a long process. It seems like once you have dates for your next step, is when it starts to go by. Where r u having surgery??

@shrinkydinkme.....if it is in San Bernadino...just a fyi that might help!! I just called the department of psych in riverside...this is where I had mine done....they said their soonest appt is june 2 ... n it does not matter if your pcp is in another city...kaiser is kaiser n they do the psych eval for surgery too...so give them a call 951-248-4000

Tickiest2thick, I have a question...When you called the psych dept did you have to meet with a Therapist first? then be referred to the Psychiatrist for the actual appt? Which means co-pay $35 bucks a pop, yuck. Did you just speak to the Therapist or did you go straight to the Psychiatrist?

No I did not have to meet with a therapist first.... I called and scheduled a appt with a psychiatrist. I just told them I needed a psych evaluation for bariatric surgery.
