Help!

I read the post about the phys evals. Some people had really easy phycs and others had 700 questions. Does anyone know of a good easy phyc in the Knoxville, Tn area. If so I would be really thankful!!!!

I had Aetna insurance and on their website they had a Search for a Doctor on the plan option. I did a search on Specialists, Psychologists and I had to be sure it was someone with a Phd not just an LISW, MA degree for it to be what was accepted. I think only the Phd psychologists are qualified to administer and interpret the test. So, check for a specialist on your plan, to save the most money you can on insurance covering it, and if nothing else, use the Aetna web site and see what comes up for Tennessee on psychologists in your area as one idea.

Well there are alot of doctors in my area that insurance covers. I am just looking for one that doesn't use the 400 or 700 question test. I would much rather sit down and talk to some one rather than sit in a room all alone for 2 hours. But thank you very much for the info on how to find a doc.

      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?
