I had my psych evaluation yesterday and am alittle bummed. He wants to meet back with me in a few weeks after I keep a food journal. He wants me to document what I eat and jot down my thoughts about it. I agree that this will definitely help me be more successful after surgery, but I'm let down that it's going to take me even longer to get my information to UHC for approval. Now I'm nervous that he sees something that's making him not want to sign off on me to get the surgery. Did anyone else have to see the psychologist multiple times for approval?

go to a different shrink. He just wants to bill more sessions.

Some doctors do have you go to multiple sessions before surgery. My surgeon will if he feels that a patient needs a bit of counseling beforehand.
