Hey! Idk yet, my ins required 6 months of weight loss attempts, I just have one more month left....but they won't give me a surgery date until the ins approves everything!

From what I understand a big part of the reason they do a psy is to weedout those with extreme personality disorders who might sabatoge their surgery, and really harm themselves. Garden variety depression is not what they are looking for....

Hi there. I'm new here and I am nervous about being denied because of my meds. After reading this forum, I've learned that my anti-depressant wont be a problem, but I also take Adderall for ADD. Has anyone heard of that particular med being an issue for being approved or in any way? Thanks!
