Any Dr. Suh (Kaiser) Patients, Got A Question.



Recommended Posts

I have my consult with Dr. Suh on Aug 16th. I am trying to expedite my process, due to my hubbys schedule. So my question is who did you go through for psych eval? The person his office referred me to does not have an appt until the 27th of August. I tried calling preventative medicine case mgr, they NEVER call back. I am kind of walking blind. Any assistance, or suggestions?

I'm with Kaiser and I'm having surgery on Aug 6th with Dr suh......I had my psych eval done thru Kaiser mental health in riverside. Dr suh said it did not matter if u go thru his mft or Kaiser. I know for sure Kaiser has a sooner appt. U just have to get copies of your evaluation to give to Dr suhs office. Mental records are the only records he do not have access to with Kaiser. If u look under a post I started titled damn damn damn...the number for the mental health department is listed there. Good luck!

I have doctor Suh and I used Heaston too. She took my insurance so I only had to pay my copay otherwise she charges $100.

Now I'm just waiting on my sonogram appointment. Trying to get all the appointments and tests within a 30 day period has been very difficult but I'm almost there.

I would call the doctor everyday to see if they have cancellations so you can get in sooner.

In Bakersfield, we have a therapist that does our psyc evaluations during options. They set us up an appt and don't charge us our copay. We get to talk with her for free, and she is wonderful.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
