I agree u need to think of ur after care' date=' this office sound very irresponsible. Maybe you should speak with the director or office Manager to see can you get some answers. Did u research this surgeons background.[/quote']

To be honest no I didn't research him I was referred to him by my PCP I read a couple of things on him on their website it's him a 3 other doctors that does the surgery and specialize in others things but now I'm going to look into what I need to do to change

I am glad you got to speak to someone. At this point I would have spoke to the janitor to get through LOL. Hopefully all will get taken care of fast and hopefully they can earn your trust.

Sometimes we have to do things we are reluctant to do, are the other doctor in the same office.

Yes very easy fix!!! Go to your surgeons psychologist and do her psych evaluation and let them resubmit!!!

Once you get in to see the psych and she writes up her report your advocate can resubmit. Shouldn't take months unless the psych us booked up like mine was and took me a couple months to get an appointment. I go October 3rd for my psych evaluation which takes all day about 5 hours. Suppose to take some kind of test then will talk to her. Then she grades the test and writes out her evaluation which can take a day or two for her to do

this psych has a website where you have to watch about 8 videos and fill out everything online so when you see her it's in and out

So I still can't get no one at my surgeons office my patient advocate goes straight to voicemail all week' date=' I called my insurance company and they saying my case is on hold waiting on a decision and they told me to call my surgeon office and tell them to call in cause they have a line that only doctors call and get detailed info and I told they my doctors office don't communicate with me and they was like sorry you have to try to get thru to you surgeons office cause they have detailed information, wow this is crazy all I can do is wait on them to call me when they get ready I guess smh[/quote']

Holy crap! I hate the run around. I'm one of those crazy b***ches that would drive up to them & say well we gonna get this process going or should I pull you out of that desk.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
