Any Recovered Bulimics?

[jaylow 1]

I Had A Bulimic Problem In High School With A Short Relapse About 6 Years Ago Which I Immediately Received Counseling For. Has Anyone Had Trouble Being Approved For The Surgery Based On A Past History Of Bulimia? I'm Worried They May Deny Me.

I had bulimia for some years. My psychiatrist appoved me ( he wrote a letter of approval) I did get appoved because I have not been bulimic for sometime now and I have been honest with the doctors. Hope you get approved.

I was bulimic for four years in the late 80's--just another one of my useless efforts to lose weight! I told the psychiatrist, who said she was sorry but she had to "write it down".

If you are honest, I don't think it will stop your surgery...I somehow still got approved and now am joyously able to lose weight!

Thank you, Lap Band! :frown:

I was bulimic in high school....i did my eval and that is noted in there...i don't believe you will be denied on that basis....but i don't know for exact sure as i am awaiting for my last few things to be done and then submit for approval....good luck

I have a history of eating disorders and I got my surgery, no problem. I didn't have to have a psych exam though, so they didn't really ask.
