Finally Approved!!!!!!


Yay Me!!! I finally received approval from UHC for the Lap Band procedure!! :whoo:

Now it seems like the fun begins (please read that with the sarcasm with which it was intended!). I guess I am luckier than most, as I only had to have a sleep study done, which I had several months ago to diagnose my Obstructive Apnea. Now the only thing left is to attend a support group meeting, and the psychological evaluation. I don't know why, but the psychological eval is freaking me out! It is like I am afraid that they will say 'No, Lisa can't have the surgery because even though she doesn't know it, she has the brain of a serial killer in waiting'. I know that is totally obnoxious, but I think that I am just waiting for something to go wrong, and I can not proceed with the surgery until this eval has been passed. Can anyone please help me stop freaking out and give me an idea of exactly what this entails? What they are looking for? Can I actually 'FAIL' it? I am sure that the therapist that is administering the testing can answer all of these questions, but in the interest of time I am having my initial appointment with him for the first hour, and then testing the next. Any info would totally be appreciated!!! Thanks so much for all of the support you all have already given me. Even though I am a rare poster, I am a frequent reader, and I draw alot of strength from all that you guys have been through. :help:

Hi Redbone, the phsyc eval was pretty easy. He primarily wanted to see what type of diet I have tried, to what extent, etc. He did ask me about my bi-polar ,which I am and it wasn't a concern. It was an easy process. Good luck. How exciting!

My psych eval was a breeze. I don`t remember what she asked, but i know it was over quick, and i remember thinking ' "wow that was easy". Donna
