psychological eval that accepts bcbs federal.



Recommended Posts

Hello I am wanting to see if there's anyone here who has went to a psychological doctor that accepts Blue Cross and Blue Shield federal in the Atlanta area for the vertical sleeve gastrectomy? If so can you provide me with their names I'm currently having a hard time finding someone? Thank you

Federal BCBS should pay any licensed therapist that is part of their PPO. I actually paid only 25 dollars for the hour + eval. i have BCBS federal Basic. With this plan I paid very little out of pocket.

Done Did It!

Call BCBS (ask blue) and they will email you a list of qualified providers in your area or whatever are you provide to the rep....We pay them enough in premium, put them to work for you.

      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.
