You need a therapist's approval for plastic surgery?

letter from therapist in support of plastics? like to give my therapist a sample letter.

i "think" this is what you are trying to say......

you are trying to convince/explain to your therapist how/why you want to have PS

your therapist is not supportive

if someone does have a therapist who is totally receptive to PS

please give me a copy to give my therapist

so she can understand where i'm coming from???

is that what you are trying to say??

i am pretty sure no one needs approval from therapist before PS

therapist wants/needs to talk to you about your expectations of having PS surgery

similar to therapist wanting to talk to you about your expectations of having WLS

wants to make sure that you realize PS is NOT going to solve your weight issues, problems

that's what my therapist and i discussed in detail before my face lift in June

congrats on loosing 140 lbs

good luck

Do you need the letter so your therapist can submit it to insurance and hopefully demonstrate that plastics are medically required?

Hi all:

I am gathering letters of support of plastic surgery from my medical providers, including my therapist. She is very much in support of what I want. I would like to just show her a sample letter so she has an idea of what she can say. I'm the first of her patients who make this request.

Thanks!


@@AvaFern That is correct! Sorry I wasn't clear.

@@proudgrammy Thanks Kathy... I'm trying to provide my therapist with a template letter, so she can have something to work from. She's never written this type of letter before.

      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.

      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.
