So I finished my 6 months of a supervised diet Dec 2, and the only thing i was waiting on was my mental eval. I had so much trouble getting a psych to cover bother mental evals for bariatrics plus medicaid. Anywho I found one and saw him the 11/19 he cleared me 12/19 and that was because I harassed them twice a week. Well psychologist sent my papers on last Monda, i called today to see what is going on and surgeons office claimed the never got it, so i called and had it sent out again and guess what they claim they still have not gotten it. So I will call again tomorrow to see if they have gotten it. This has truly frustrated me to the max today because my papers could have been submitted, this has turned into a long drawn out wait and i must say i do not like or appreciate this treatment.

Has anyone had experiences like the one i am forced to deal with? ?

The surgeons and the nurses are wonderful its the front staff / the ones answering the phones, they are like 15 year old girls with no type of responsibilities what so ever ugggghh

Sry needed to vent a little.

All the waiting was one of the most difficult things of the whole process. Keep after them its what I had to do but it will be over before you know it. Hang in there

office claimed they never got (the papers) - needed to vent a little.

no apologies necessary about venting :wacko:

many of us have been there, done that :(

i have seen similar stories on the board about doc's office not sending/or receiving insurance forms, documents, stuff like that :angry:

yes, you do need to keep after them

hopefully/i'm sure, this will get taken care of sooner than later

you will get approved - and be on the way to WLS, and a healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck

Thank you, I am still beyond frustrated with them, I dont like to feel like I am bothering people and when I deal with people like that I tend to be snappy and my evil attitude pops out. Lol.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement ;-) I am filled with worry and I seem like I have talked a hole in everyones mind who is supporting me while I go through this journey, On top of everything classes began soon and I was hoping this part was taken care of before I have more of a pile to deal with.... I think I am going to wait until 9:30 to call thia place and hopefully I get somewhere today

Maybe you could go to the Psych office and pick up a copy. Then hand deliver to the surgeon's office. Get a receipt from them that they got it. The "lost" paperwork is beyond frustrating. I might also mention this difficulty to the surgeon. My doc hates to hear of glitches in the office...takes care of them immediately.

I called today and the hospital received my psych eval and who knows when they will submit my papers, the receptionist kind of rushed me off the phone and i have literally no more energy in dealing with them. So i took the answer and hung up.... Dealing with them makes it hard to stay positive

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
