  9. So I recently decided to see psychiatrist for anxiety. I have a 1&2 yr old and ever since having them I hd e major anxiety about something bad happening to them. I don't let them out of my sight and I basically plan eveything out of something bad was to happen. Someone break in my house etc. I quickly realized this was extender and am seeking help. Now that I am seeking help with this my referral to bariatrics wasn't declined but says I need to see psychiatrist first . Anyone have any issues like that that stopped them from allowing you to get lap band??
