Some years ago, I tried to do sleeve with my insurance but psyc from hospital did not recommend it due to emotional eating. Meanwhile did Many changes in my life and feel ready. I started now, with other bariatric center and got green light fir a sleeve! But i must have also letter from my family doctor..i just received her letter e she mentions i was rejected some years ago due to psyc issues... Well, i did not mentioned to new center about it... I'm in absolute panic they will change decision... Puffffffffwhat should i say??!?!do?!?!

You should say the truth just as you have stated here. If you honestly feel you have made the changes necessary since your previous attempt, then tell them so. Tell them what you have done in the interim that better prepares you for the sleeve now. This surgery isn't magic. It's not going to be successful if you can't put in the work both physically and mentally so there's no point in lying and having surgery when you aren't ready.

Does your current insurance require a psych eval? Or the program you are enrolled in?

If either of them do, then a visit with a mental health professional should clear that all up.

I'd be honest with them though if they ask you about it. Describe what changes you have made.

Hope things go smoothly for you!

Yes, it does require. In interviews i was very open regarding how my life was stressfull and how i managed to change things (and me) but i did not mentioned the other attempt Some years ago because was afraid to complicatie my case... Feel bad . Guess only thing to do is be open ... Thank you for wise advise.

^5 Yes, be honest. If you're worried, go get your own evaluation.

Perhaps your primary doctor would be willing to explain why she included it and perhaps why she now feels you're ready? Sometimes your regular Dr. knows more about you than someone new.

It will get better.
