Oh shoot, I think I really messed up!

My psych eval. is tomorrow morning. I couldn't get an appt. with the dr. I wanted so i went with the second choice in the papers the surgeon's office gave me. I knew the first one was in my insurance network but when I couldn't get him I made an appt. with the other one not checking if he was in my network or not. Tonight it dawned on me to check and he's NOT! So now I either have to pay for the late-cancellation charge or go through with it and just pay for it hoping my insurance will reimburse me something. I have no idea what it will cost. I might be worth it just to cancel and wait for the other one to have an opening. What do you all think? Has anyone had to pay out of pocket for their psych?

My whole entire experience is out of pocket; including the surgery. I am sure the psych eval is minimal. I would pay it and hope for re-imbursement; if not, you haven't slowed down your surgery path. (A small price to pay to get going with your "new beginning") Best of luck to you. Dena

Yeah, you're right. I'm going. Who knows when I could get an appt. with the other one. I couldn't even get through on the phone to them. I don't want to delay this any longer.

My psych eval was $50, that was the only thing my insurance didn't cover.

Hopefully it won't cost you much.

OK, well good news. The psych was in my network. Bad news, for some reason this takes 4 visits. Yuck. Today I just gave my basic history, family history, weight history etc. Next time she says I will take a test. Next time we will talk about the test. And I'm not sure what the 4th time is for. Oh well. At least the ins. will pay for most of it.

that's bizarre. my psych eval was one visit. about an hour and a half. sounds like they're trying to milk it for insurance??

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Now I know why the other one they recommended first was so booked up. It probably doesn't take so many visits. Oh well. At least I know they'll do what the insurance needs because they've done it for my surgeon a lot.

Wow, I guess I had it easy. I had to do a 100 question scantron test.

I would just go because they are the hardest doctor's to get appt's with!! I had to pay out of pocket for my evaluation. I think it was about $200. Hope it goes well!!

I went to my Psych evaluation was in November and I haven't seen a bill yet. I believe she and the surgeon are in together and the whole thing is kind of in together. I haven't even seen a bill from my first visit to the surgeon, which was November 9th.

Well I asked the receptionist how much they charged for the evaluation and she said $200. I was there less than 30 minutes yesterday, so I guess what they do is split it up into 4 30-minute sessions? So silly if you ask me. (But nobody did!rolleyes.gif) Anyway I'm not sure if I'll have to pay a copay for each visit or not. probably. But whatever. At least it is getting done and I'm getting closer!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
