I had my surgery there.  And loving it!  Great people and facility compared to others I visited.

They basically handled everything for me insurance wise(I have Tricare Prime).   Did you ask them if they have had success getting coverage for patients with your insurance company?  Or have you contacted your insurance directly?  I know many insurance companies require you to be 100lbs overweight and have some comorbidities (high bp, etc).  Some only cover certian WLS procedures and not others (my mom is facing that now)  Once I had my physical and had my consultation at WLSC they submitted it all to the insurance company and I was approved in days.  But they do have to run blood work, etc.  They have to be sure you are a good, safe candidate for surgery. 

I did have my primary dr refer me to the nutritionist and saw her.  No big deal there. 

I doont know how helpful that was, but if you have any other questions, I'm here.

I had my surgetry at WLSC.  Have had a great experience.  Would be glad to answer anything you have to ask.   If you prefer, email me -

Can't help you with an opinion about More to Life. But wanted to share that my surgeon is in Shawnee Mission, KS and is excellent. They are a Center of Excellence and have an excellent program. If you are still shopping around please check him out. His name is Dr Stanley Hoehn and his practice's name is KC Bariatrics Center. Click on his name under my avatar and it will take you to his website here.
Good luck with your weight loss journey no matter who your surgeon is,
Connie B.

I haven't had my psych eval yet- it's scheduled for the 30th- but I am a psychologist. Some of my colleagues do bariatric evals. The eval should consist of an interview and, mostly likely, an MMPI-2.  The questions the eval should answer are, "Is this person capable of making good decisions about their own healthcare, does this person understand the risks and consequences of the surgery, and is this person emotionally stable enough to handle this long difficult process." I have never heard of memory or cognitive testing for a bariatric eval.  I think you are right to question the appropriateness of the tests given.  You might consider visiting with this evaluator's supervisor or contact the behavioral sciences regulatory board.
