Depressed

[Mrs.FullerRN 189]

Feeling like my surgery is never going to happen. Had psych 5 weeks ago, she said I passed but hasn't done the paperwork..won't return phone calls to me or the bariatric center. The girl I started this process with is getting sleeved Monday. It's so discouraging. I want to make an appointment with the shrink and be like ok here's a free hour, put my paperwork through. But then she might think I'm crazy. I feel like giving up and like my surgery will never happen

Dont give up! Just go to another shrink and explain your situation, Im sure they will understand. But make sure this ones goin to do the paperwork. Good luck to you I hope you get a date soon.

Hi im new and just wanted to say please don't let it get the best of you. I have been going throught this pre-op stuff since July of last year its crazy. I wanted to throw the towel in but i can't. I have no choice but to get this operation and then six months after this surgery i will have to have another one to repair a large ventral hernia. Its rough but we will make it. I agree get a different psychologist to do your evaluation.

Thanks. A different shrink is really not an option, my insurance won't pay for another evaluation and its over $500 if I paid out of pocket

Go to her office and stand there and complain then leave a very polite but firm letter Gor the shrink that you need this done ASAP

You can contact your insurance and complain and see if they can lite a fire up under his/ her butt or you want them to cover you going to one that will do what your insurance is paying them to do.

If nothing else works then call her and fax her a letter staying you are reporting her to the medical board. Keep a log of all of the attempts you've made. Good luck. And don't give up.

Your psychologist is a member of a state board and subject to licensing in your state. You may want to contact either and advise them of your problem and ask their advice on arriving at a timely solution or reference to a second psychologist on a pro-bono basis.

I would also go back to the bariatric practice if they recommended this psychologist and suggest they discontinue recommending this doctor since you paid for the session an no report was delivered. Then, if the bariatric practice recommended this dr., request another reference to another psychologist willing to schedule a session pro-bono.

Good Luck, and more importantly Don't Give-up!
