Does this mean that if you have bipolar depression they won't pass you for the psych evaluation? I have bipolar depression and am taking medicine and going to therapy. Will they make me wait until I complete counseling with my therapist before passing me?

I'm schizoaffective and was approved first time around, psych evaluation that is...So regardless of mental illness you should be approved.

I lost 2.75 inches on my waist and 3.8lbs. To me that makes no sense whatsoever. But because I lost inches and weight they decided that a WL drug was not needed right now.

I go see my doctor tomorrow for an official weigh in. Before he did my endoscopy he was telling me to get all my blood work done because there were possibly medications that were out there to help me with weight loss. I have not been successful with pre-op weight loss. Even though I've been drinking 2 shakes a day and eating lean meat and some vegetables for the past 3 weeks. I have actually gained weight. My psych thinks it could be the psych meds inhibiting the weight loss. Anyway what options are out there for prescription medication weight loss. I haven't found much online and wondering what the surgeon was referring too. I did my blood work, EKG and Chest xrays for him 2 weeks ago and will find out the results tomorrow.

Thanks

Congrats! You look great!
