I am having theee hardest time finding someone to do my psych evaluation. I don't even know what to do at this point. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have medicaid and they cover it.. I just can't find anyone to do it. Ughh! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

That sounds awesome! I wish mine was like that!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine will pay for it. I just need to find someone that does it. It's driving me insane. I could use theirs but it'll be about $150 for the session. I might just have to suck it up and pay it. [emoji849] Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I've asked. They said to go on my insurance website. I did but noone does psych evaluations. I asked if they could look at someone who has the same insurance I do and see who they used. Hopefully I get something back tomorrow. My surgeon has his own psychologist that does them but they don't accept my insurance. I'm getting really frustrated cause if I don't get it done soon I probably won't be able to get the surgery date I want. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had a root canal today and I'm supposed to start my two week preop liquid diet tomorrow.. I'm on antibiotics for 10 days and my surgery is on the 28th.. Will the antibiotics mess with my surgery? I'm going to call tomorrow but now I'm worried I won't be able to have my surgery on the 28th. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Was anyone around 5'4 240lbs? How much weight did you lose and how long has it been since your surgery? What surgery did you have done? Just curious!

Not really. My nutritionist said my ideal weight is 132. My final goal weight is 130. Haven't had surgery yet. August 28th I'll be sleeved!! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I did all my testing, insurance approved surgery, date set for surgery, but I have to have a 2 hour long preop test? What test is this? I should've asked but didn't think to lol. I have to check in the hospital for this test. I'm curious if anyone else has to or had to do this.. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I did all my testing and it was submitted and approved by my insurance. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ahh you're my surgery twin!! I am scheduled for vsg August 28th!! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I've noticed a lot of people lose about 10lbs a month.. Seems like you're where you should be so far.

I got my date today!! August 28th! I have to wait cause I'm just too busy this summer!

To hear if my insurance has approved me or not.. Ugh!

Thanks!!! I'm super excited!

My Dr. Office just called me!! I was approved and surgery will be the 28th of August!!!!!

I don't know how long this usually takes. Hopefully soon! When are you hoping to have yours done? I was told all of August is open for dates so I'm requesting the 28th. So well see!

Congrats!!

That's awesome!! I hope I'm like that. I hear that the smaller you are the harder it is to lose and I'm definitely not small but not as big as some people start out. The more you have to lose, the fast you lose.

This past January? That's awesome! Congrats!

Awesome guys! I have my last appointment this Thursday then it'll be sent to my insurance for approval. I'm super excited but getting nervous!

She said a balance of protein and carbs is what I need before surgery

I noticed I started losing weight when I started eating breakfast at breakfast time. Around 930am I'll have a Greek yogurt then my coffee. Even if I'm out hungry, which I never am that early, I force it. I snack only on fruit and veggies and she told me I need carbs and to not cut them out. She said all of this will change after surgery.. But I lost 10 pounds in three weeks by eating breakfast in the morning.

Munchies maybe. I wouldn't smoke pot if you're trying to lose weight. I used to smoke and had an endless pit in my stomach. I ate everything when I smoked.

Congratulations!!
