Anyone help if youcan.

OK I got my surgery date which is Nov 30th. I went to phsy Eval about 3 weeks ago ok .he told me he wanted me to have this surgery he knows I deserve it and could handle it. Well when they call to let me know I was approved and my surgery date I was told before the Dr does the surgery he wants me to go through some more therapy because of something the physcologists streessed as xconcerns on my eval And if it takes many sessions they may have to reschdule the surgery has anyone had to have more counseling before trhe Dr does Surgery?? Please any advice are experience would be very appreciated.

I didn't have to jump through that hoop, but I am in therapy and have been since before surgery. Try not to get too angry or stressed about this. It really is beneficially. I would recommend finding out exactly what issues they're concerned with and what they could consider a reasonable time frame to address some of it. You could also indicate you plan on continuing therapy after surgery. It can only help, it certainly has for me! Best of luck, Kelle

I didn't have to do any of that bur I wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. If you need anything just yell. Hugs, Debra =^..^=

I did have some additional sessions with the psychologist both before and after surgery. She just wanted to make sure I was going to have coping mechanisms after surgery for the things that used to make me want to binge, etc. It helped and I'm glad I did it. Actually, if my insurance hadn't run out at the end of August, I might have had a few more sessions anyway (I was going about every 2 weeks). It's not necessarily that big a deal, so just take and deep breath!! See what you can work out with the psych and let them know your surgery date, etc. They can probably get you ready in time. Good luck!!! Ann in Duluth
