such bull crap!

I met with a psychiatrist yesterday and he said he wouldn't clear me for wls because I'm bipolar, have a history of alcohol abuse, and suffer from pts! First I'm on meds for a mood disorder not bipolar and I was 17 when I drank and it was on Friday or Saturday night at parties! I never blacked out or any of that! I'm almost 30 now and yes I have a drink every once in a while 2 or 2 times a mobth maybe... come on... think I need a second oppinion. As for prs really??? From the time I was 11??? Bull!

      Your should go get a 2nd opinion.. if your dr. did not let you speak or let you explain AND said to lose weight the old fashion way then I truly believe he was against the surgery even before you walk

      I know you are frustrated but the reason these psych evals are so important is to see how well you cope. Statistics show gb pts often turn into sex addicts or alcoholics due to the surgery. . You lose

    "The old fashioned way" *snort* Sounds like HE needs the reality check. Sounds like you've got it worked - yay!

    I ask him if he has tried the old fashioned way (since he was bigger than me)! I am praying that this new one will listen to my whole situation before she makes a decision. Thanks to everybody who gave advice while I vented. Glad to know y'all are so supportive!
