I got a letter in the mail from the psychologist saying they were denying my surgery because I have to learn to love myself more in the body I'm in. Wtf kind of crap is that. I loved myself just fine before I became incapacitated. When I could walk well and get around I was fine. When I could work and not feel like a drain on the family I was wonderful. I am sometimes self conscious but I usually get around that with humor. I need to get this weight of asap. It's not a vanity issue its my life.my bp is sky high someone's even with my meds. I . Have just crossed over into full blown diabetes. I know what I need to do. I've lost 7 lbs in a month. I'm filling out my fitness pal every day and 90% keeping it below 1200 cal. I'm committed to this. I'm even down to 2 cups of coffee a day( down from never having an empty cup.) Good Lord all I want to do is get better. How someone who has met me once can make decisions like that is beyond me. I thought it would be the insurance company giving me a hard time... this is my drs psychologist. I am furious

I would call the psych and ask why they wrote that and what action steps you need to take. Play nice find another doc while playing nice and get another eval. Be saccharine during that eval. Submit.

Oh I know now... I'll give an academy award performance.
