Mrs. Rob

Hello, I'm a newbie. I live in Newport News, VA. I see the physician at the CFWL. I am planning to have hopefully my approval and surgery around July. i am looking for support. Thanks

Well that's good that you recognize that. I too am a stressful eater and and the process of trying to re-configure my mind and instead of eating when I'm stressed do other things more counterproductive like walk. I know that this is a life-changing situation and I welcome it. I think I'd be happier and a lot less anxious once I get that approval letter from my insurance company. Mrs Rob

I understand and I've heard that the psych evaluation for some people are long but I'm glad mine's wasn't but 45 minutes, and she just talk to me and ask me questions that was it. I'm kind of hoping that I do have sleep apnea because if I do my insurance will automatically approve my surgery, but if I don't then they just going to base it on my BMI which is 41 without any comorbidities. I just want this whole process to be over with and my surgery to come quick lol Mrs Rob

The psych evaluation was pretty quick she only talked to me for about 45 minutes and then she gave me a clearance. I am scheduled for my sleep study next month on the 26th. With the psych evaluation they just want to make sure that you're not going to turn to be anorexic or bulimic Mrs Rob

I am in my 6 month waiting period & nutrition Consulting stage that is required by my insurance right now, hopefully I'll be having my surgery around June or July I can't wait I already had my psych eval. I'm just excited about starting a new phase in my life.

Congratulations this is going to be your year. Mrs Rob

I am going to have my surgery hopefully around June or July. I'm scheduled for my sleep study in February. I've already had my psych equal. I can't wait Sent from my VS835 using BariatricPal mobile app
