PSYCHO EVAL!!!

Well, you know the Queen and she has found herself yet another man!!! Dr. James Gilbert in Meridian did my psycho eval last night. He has all my favorite features....red hair, bald, and facial hair! Very kind, soft spoken gentleman. Stole my heart when he met me at my truck with his little guy with an ear ache. Further stole it, when I was taking my tests and he excused himself to go give the wifey a break with the child - he was crying off and on with his ear ( the babe, not Dr. G). He will have me evaluated by Friday at the latest. And I will be set. He called Kristy (Dr. B's nurse) prior to my visit and I only had to take 2 tests!! One though was over 500 questions - it's the one that if you aren't crazy when you start you will be when you finish!!! He has an office in the basement of his home, just off North Hills Street. And gang, guess what??? His fee was $100. Yep, you heard that right!!! In Jackson (not thru UMC) the going rate is $240 - $280. So if you need a good psycho tester, lemme know. I'll provide you with address, directions and phone number. Kristi Ethridge can also - she's who told me... Smooch Arlies PS Dr Gilbert told me that it didn't matter if (IF!!!) I was crazy, what mattered was if the craziness was something that precluded me from having surgery!!!!

It sure is a good thing that he said it didnt matter if you were crazy.....cause you ARE. I bet you hated that test. I know I did. My pre-cert nurse sent me copies of all my stuff (even drs notes-which she wasnt supposed to).... my shrink said things about me that made me wanna spit fire. The notes are at home but I am gonna get them and tell yall what she wrote. I am so glad you had a good expierience with your psycho doc!! What all do you have left to do?

All I have left is SURGERY!!!! I told them at the meeting Tuesday night for UMC support, that my date was gonna be Dec 20, if I had to hogtie and drag Kristy and Dr Blake into the OR. Kristy came up to me afterwards and whispered, "I really do have you down on dec 20." So I am not official, official, but I am going to have it then...I should hear by Monday or so... Smooch, Arlies PS It takes a crazy to know a crazy!!!!!

Didnt I tell you that I thought you would be a Christmas surgery?? http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/state-forums/MS/postdetail/2067.html?vc=0 _________________________________________________________ OH MY GAWD! That is fantastic. Are ya getting excited?? I am so excited for ya!

What good news. I'm "Officially" having my abdominal reconstruction Done on Dec. 6th!!!!! I'll be rooting for you for Christmas. On my Psych Eval., he only talked to me and asked Questions. No test at all, and my insurance covered it and it was only $85. Your having to fight Uphill both ways in the snow to get approved. Can't wait to see that- "I've Got A Date!!!!!" Post, with your name on it. Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Dx , Congratulations !!!!on getting a date for your abdominal reconstruction,I am happy for you and green with envy lol .....Sherry

WONDERFUL!!! Save that mans name for me!!!!! I'm so glad that you only had to take 2. Would have been better if it was NONE. But hey, 2 is better than 5. Glad to hear that things are working out so well for you. Hope 2 talk to you soon (momma is still down). I miss talking to you, Angie and Sherry

Tell your Mom we are thinking of her. If you need anything, let us know. Where is Mom? Is she near you? Dr. James Gilbert, my new love , is just off North Hills on 16th Avenue. He is basically right behind the shopping center on the corner of North Hills and Poplar Springs. Arlies
