hey guys!!! I live in Manhattan and i am having trouble finding a psychologist/psychiatrist for an evaluation that possibly takes my insurance or won't charge more than 150???

My insurance wont take evaluations from CSW's. Please can any pre-op or post-op sleevers tell me if they know anyone? Thanks!!!!!!!! :)

Hi. I'm from queens but used dr yatco with Lenox hills. His office did everything, everyone on staff, the nut, and psych to, who charged $150.

Good luck to you.

Wantagh Long Island here. My date is 10/23 with Dr. Vorha at South Nassau Hospital in Oceanside. My original date was 10/1 but was postponed 4 days before because my Iron was too low. Today I had my first of two iron transfusions. Hopefully this will work and I do not have to postpone again!

Hello all. I am currently in the process of getting my clearance to have surgery with Dr. Gohil at Syosset hospital! I'm nervous and scared and the whole bit but this is something I need to do! I can't live life the way I am! If anyone would like to private message me please feel free! I could really use the encouragement from people that have been there and are fine!!

My surgeon is from Columbia also , but I had my surgery at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood New Jersey. It's almost 2 months since my surgery and I am very happy. I am no expert, but I'll be happy to talk to anyone about how the surgery has affected me. Since you are going to Columbia Presbyterian we might have the same surgeon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
