It's all about the money......

Today I had my head shrunk.

First I had to answer 150 t/f questions. They ask a lot of questions several times in different phrasing. Afterward I had to talk to the Dr. He went over my test results. There were several traits they were looking for in wls patients. Some of them were expected like support available, drug/alcohol abuse, depression. One kinda surprised me but they asked things like I accurately report my symptoms, I often blow things out of proportion, etc. The Dr explained that it was looking for is the patient a good fiancial risk. Was the pt going to go to Dr for every little thing, making mountains out of molehills etc. I guess it shouldn't surprise me that this all comes down to money..

I passed. In 2 wks I see the NUT and then submit for approval.
