Searching in Vancouver WA for a Mental Health Therapist



Recommended Posts

Please help! I am going nuts trying to find a therapist who is familiar or experienced with bariatric surgery patients. I have Molina insurance and I am really having a hard time finding someone. I have started seeing a therapist and she has no game plan. She is no help and I feel really let down when I see her. There has to be someone in or around Vancouver Washington who is knowledgeable and accepts my insurance.

Anyone out there know of someone? I would appreciate any refferals as Molina has not proven to be helpful either. I was on the phone all day calling various offices and Molina. I'll be back at it tomorrow!

I should be having surgery in December if all works in my favor! I'm on my 3rd round of appointments. Approved for stage 2 in June!

Thank you!

Hello,

Did you ever find someone? I am just starting the process and could use all the help.

Thank you.

Hi I haven’t had the surgery yet but the psychiatrist that did my eval. In the process said if I need a referral to reach out to her. So I would suggest reaching out to the person that had to do your psych eval. Since they are in the field and understand insurance. My insurance carrier was less than helpful as well.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
