Maybe go back then???? I just starting seeing a new psychiatrist last week and I no longer have insomnia!! It was the best move I've made. My precious one, since 2013 just couldn't figure out how to fix my insomnia. So I fired her...lol Best wishes! Dotty Cole

I have mine on November 14th and she told me I have to come the first time to talk and the 2nd time to take tests. Like answer questions. And if I want to know how she evaluated me then I have to Come for a 3rd visit, which I probably will do or I'll stress myself to death. Best wishes! Dotty Cole

No don't because you are right and he apologized for adding so much stress to my life. But the more I think about all of the incorrect information he conveyed I wonder if he even listens to what I am saying. Now I'm just annoyed with him! Best wishes! Dotty Cole

Congratulations on your weight loss! The meds I take have no NSAID's in them. I take opana, which is oxymorphone in the generic form. I googled it and it's fine. I have no side effects and do not feel weird when I take my pain meds. I will not take OxyContin ever again. I can't remember anything l, plus oxymorphone is a lot stronger. Best wishes! Dotty Cole

It really is an easy process with an easy approval if you meet the requirements, 40 BMI or above, any chronic conditions, and a psych evaluation. They have you do the preop blood work and ekg, and then submit. When I went for my initial visit I saw the nutritionist and that was the only time I had to see her. If my therapist wouldn't have did the crazy job on the letter I would already have a surgery date. Just irritated because I already met my out of pocket so everything would be at 100% if I have it this year. But it's probably not going to be until next year at this rate. Best wishes! Dotty Cole

Hi everyone! I am in the appeal process and extremely hopeful. 5'1", right now around 212lb, 5 spine surgeries, last back surgery failed and left me with extreme pain and nerve damage. My pain doctor told me that my weight is causing a good portion of the pain. Is there anyone out there that has had relief from pain after losing the weight? I can't lose weight because I cannot even tolerate long walks. I just had another RFA (nerve ablation) in the lower right side of my back and the pain that comes after is unreal. Let me know if any pain relief please!! Best wishes! Dotty Cole

Wow! So none of the stuff I said. I would be bugging them every day until they gave me a date!! I'm really excited for you!! Keep us all updated! Best wishes! Dotty Cole

Wow!!! I am in tears after watching your first video. Although my situation is a bit different, the bottom line that I need help the same way you did makes me feel like hey somebody gets it! Your after picture is just amazing!!! You look so healthy and I know your wife and children are loving the new you. I want that too!! I'm so fat I cannot catch my 29 month old grandson..smh. Anyway could you share your YouTube channel with me please? Thanks so much for Sharing your journey!! Best wishes! Dotty Cole

Hey Walter, I admire your strength. You have conquered so many battles. Have you considered therapy and the possibility you may need medication for depression? It all changed my life. I'm in the appeal process because my insurance denied my surgery because of my therapists psych evaluation. He screwed it all up but is in the process of talking to the insurance company. A blunt would have made me feel better. Honestly, but I didn't do it. Anyway, take a breath and please go to a meeting and maybe explore the options I talked about!!! You got this man! Best wishes! Dotty Cole

It normally has to go back to the surgeons desk, which took 2 1/2 weeks, then has to be submitted to your insurance company for pre-authorization. That can usually take anywhere from 15-30 days for approval depending on your insurance company. After that the office will schedule if you are approved. That's my doctors office process, but it could be different at yours. I would call and ask if you aren't sure. Best wishes! Dotty Cole

He is my regular therapist since 2013. Smh. I thought he would do a descent job. He conveyed I have no support, too many stressors and might be non compliant after surgery. Where he got that from idk. But he is correcting it. I am also getting a non biased new psych evaluation with a psychologist that my surgeons office uses just in case they don't approve after he talks to my ins company. I was so pissed at first. But I've since calmed down. Best wishes! Dotty Cole

Wow you look amazing!!! Congratulations!! Best wishes! Dotty Cole

It was my psych evaluation. My therapist gave a lot of incorrect information. He's calling them to do peer to peer review to get it corrected. If he tells the truth there should not be a problem getting them to approve. Best wishes! Dotty Cole

I've been married for 24 years and we have 7 children. He gives me the world. I've never had to work and he treats me with respect and love. That's not going to happen. Best wishes! Dotty Cole
