I am at the beginning of my journey and my insurance requires a pre-surgical psychological evaluation. I am going through the program at Celebration Health and they have a psychologist that they recommend, but she doesn't take my insurance (Florida Blue - BCBS) and it will cost $360. I am allowed to find another that my insurance will cover, but I'm having trouble. Anyone in the area know of a good one? They must be a psychologist - this was emphasized. Any leads are greatly appreciated. :) Thanks!

I have BCBS Anthem, and I actually did my evaluation over the phone. It was through BariatricPsychEvaluations.com

You can check with your provider to see if they are within your network and what the coverage would be. If you do it over the phone or in person, I believe the questions are relatively the same.

I used that same website, it was literally 10 minutes long and so easy and cost me just a $30 copay.

Awesome! Thank you! I will look into it. I just hope my program will accept it.

Wow, the price must have gone up. It cost me $500 to see the psychologist a Celebration. She was worth it, though.

      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?
