few things on my mind...



Recommended Posts

Firstly, called surgeons office today to see about my psych exam and if they have any psychologist that takes my insurance to just find out my surgeon is no longer with them for like 2 freaking months. I got nothing i'm the mail and no phone call wow once again this happened to me with my old pcp. Well no worries, just need reconsult with the other surgeon no problem maybe he'll be better than the other anyways. Well come to find out the one plan i'm on has like NO psychologists that take it! hopeing tomorrow when I call this other place they actually have a bariatric psychologist that takes my insurance plan. Also, going to my educational class on Wednesday. Then sleep study the 9th. Already have 4 out of 6 supervised diets done 5th one done on Jan 2nd yay then February done with them. Waiting on nutritionist, pulmonary, and cardiology referrals then I'll submit to insurance by march 15 hopefully get a April date! Cannot wait at all! Just hoping all goes as planned and will have all my required things done by February . hoping to have surgery NO later than April 30! My bday is may 5 and hoping to be recovering great by then! Its kinda frustrating though to find out my surgeon just left with no notice to me! But obviously he wasn't meant to be mine and this other surgeon was! I'm so excited oh also so far, started at 332 lbs and 5'5. Since September i've lost 12 lbs.lol am at 320 as of today. Which is pretty awesome. Haven't been less than 330 in s couple, years. Does anyone have any friendly advise for me? I have noone to really talk to about this! Thanks!

I have an excellent insurance policy and still had to pay for the psych eval out of pocket. You will read thru this forum, that most insurance companies do not pay for the psych eval portion of this process. I hope that you do find one that is willing to accept your insurance, but just prepare yourself in the event that you must pay out of pocket for it. Mine cost $170.

Hi!

My physc eval was covered, just had to pay the co-pay. I'm waiting for the nutritionalist to fax my stuff to the dr so they can submit to insurance. Nurse is contacting nutr today to ask for paperwork so it can keep moving on!! I'd love a February 1st date. That could happen if they hurry and get the ok from insurance!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
