Psychiartry Consultation
So I had my first Psych (Gershon Psychiatry Associates) apt Friday, September 2nd 2016, 1 of 2 (hopefully) I believe everything went well. They stated I just needed 1 more so I hope that's it!! The fact that there are 16 appointments that you have to do before the DR sees you again to tell you if insurance approves your surgery is crazy (6 of the 16 being 28 days apart)!!

It's SO worth it! I had wls in Dec '12, called duodenal switch and I lost 80lbs. My type 2 diabetes is gone, as is my high cholesterol and hypertension. I would have lost more if I didn't have mobility issues and problems related to my chronic pain syndrome. But I'm happy with my decision, regardless. I took me almost one year from the time I entered the programme at my doctor's clinic before I got my surgery. The hoops you have to jump through are necessary to ensure that you have a safe and uneventful post-op recovery.
Best of luck to you!

Hi Whitley. I live in RI as well and my doctor has sent in all the information to get qualified for the gastric bypass. I wish they didn't take so long. I have hypertension and fibromyalgia. Wish i can get this done in the next couple of weeks. They sent me the 1st step which is the seminar. Have that schedule for December 2016 and hopefully they move quick on me. I should of accepted my doctors offer last year around this time but i had said no. Now I want it done. Hopefully this will move quick. Thanks for your journey on RS
