Do you have to go to a psychologist that is recommended by your surgeon or will any one do?

Patty, usually your surgeon will have one that he/she uses. Mine did, but my insurance company said no, we want you to use this person. Okay, they were paying.

The reason to use the one the surgeon recommends is, they will know exactly what the doc wants to know for insurance approval.

My psych-eval was useless. I never saw a doctor, only the doc's nurse. At the time I thought, "oh, who cares." Well now I care, I'm still dealing with food demons.

Patty, on another note, everytime I see your user name, I smile...........it just tickles me so much.

I asked the nurse at the Doctor's office when she called if they had anyone special they recommened for me to go to, but she told me to ask my PCP for a recommendation. I live 80 miles from the doctor and his office is very accomadating to me.

I found out yesterday that the doctor's office submitted all my paperwork to the insurance company 1/17. Hopefully I'll have surgery approval soon!

Gee Fiona, every post you have (all four of them) on 3fc's, you have linked to the web site selling pills. Could you be a sales person? Just so you know, the kind ladies that run this web site, for those of us who wish to receive and give support, do not allow any selling of any kind on THEIR web site.

I reported her also. When we're trying to help and encourage each other we don't need this crap!
