Need a recommendation for last minute psych eval



Recommended Posts

So, my surgery is in TWO WEEKS! I need to get my psych eval done. Unfortunately, the psychologist my surgeon works with is not covered by my insurance and won't see me. I haven't put this off, I was just able to get time off from work last minute and the surgeon was able to accommodate. This is the last thing I need to do!

Does anyone know of an online psych eval place besides Advantage Point? Or someone in Austin, TX who can do one this week?

Thanks!

I wish I still had the list my surgeons office provided me. I do know all of the online/phone ones were out of pocket. I’d contact your surgeons office if I was you. Sorry I’m not more help. Hopefully someone will chime in

I highly recommend BariatricPsychEvaluations.com. They were very friendly and will do a phone interview. The cost for the evaluation was $150 if your insurance doesn't cover it. This was who my Dr. recommended. I did the online questionnaire on a Wednesday and the phone interview two days later on Friday.

      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?
