pchsy eval

:thumbup: Does anyone have any info on pchsy eval before surgery approval

I think the psych eval is for two things:

1. To make sure you don't think the procedure is an obesity cure

2. To make sure that any mental health problems you have had in the past wont resurface because of the surgery, the struggle, or the weight loss.

Good luck, Cali

i had to take 2 psych tests ($800, not covered by my insurance). a total of 600 multiple choice questions. had to have 1 session with the psychologist (also not covered by my insurance, $150). then he wrote a lame letter saying i would benefit from more counseling, but it was not mandatory.

guess what --- i got denied from insurance because of that letter ! i went back to see him 3 more times ($450 out of pocket). he wrote a new letter and i got approved.

Dear Thin,

I know its personal, but do you have any idea what you may have said or indicated that caused your snag? I think a lot of people would want to know even if your answer is only in general terms. Thanks, Cali

thanks for all the info....
