Is it possible to have a telehealth or zoom appointment? Ask the office! They may accommodate you!

i actually did that. So the appointment is a two parter. 1st part is thru Zoom on March 1st. the 2nd part must be in office and is a computer testing that last 3-4 hours and is roughly 600 questions long. :(

Fingers crossed that it comes back negative and you don’t have to change anything but at least if you do it’s just the testing part which is probably with office staff and not the dr so the appointments should be easier to get.

To be honest, you should have checked with us on the whole "Should I get Covid?" question.

I think a majority of us would have come down on the "No" side.

Here's hoping you reconsider the results of the test and choose "No", just to be safe.

Good luck,

Tek

Yep, that’s the MMPI test. It took me one hour. My psychologist sent me a link to take it at home. I never met with him in person. It’s interesting how different the process is at different clinics.

Yup thats the name. but there is also another test as well apparently that goes after that one. Gonna try again to see if i can do it at home if my test comes up positive again.

While it's true that all humor is best when explained in excruciating detail, in this case I was working out an alternate reality concept that does not lend itself to a coherent explanation.

It's best just to live with the confusion and move on lest I choose to explain it anyhow, then you'll be sorry.

Good luck,

Tek

Holy cow. I did my psych visit from a Las Vegas hotel room using Zoom. It didn't last even 10 minutes! I can't believe you have to take the MMPI test at all, much less in an office! Not cool.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
