This has nothing to do with my insurance since she didn't even know what insurance I had and had forgotten my phone call to her in which she said she didn't take my insurance. I did sound like she was trying to drum up business but again reminded her that she didn't take my insurance. I'm glad to hear that you have never heard of extended therapy to qualify for Lap-Band surgery. I will call the Bariatric Center tomorrow. Thanks so much.

My psych eval was stupid, I see others saw it as benificial but I thought it was a waste of $1,000 I had to pay because my insurance didn't cover baratric psych consults, but like others said I saw the MD for about 10 minutes, then he put me in this room with 2 different tests, one was the one where they ask you the same questions over and over, it was the dumbest thing ever. The other test asked about food addictions that we all know we already have because we all our obese, they wanted me to follow up with the psych MD after surgery, but I skipped that appointment, didn't want to pay out of pocket again, but I know I had to do it to get my band, and I love my band so I should stop whinning LOL

      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?
