Social Worker says I need counsling 1st...wtf

Well i had my individual intake with sandy at dr. moons office....and she thinks i need some counsling to free my mind of things that have happened in my past...that im pushing my feelings down with food.... um no... i push them down cuz im friggen bored... !!!!!   I dont sit there and cry over what happened 10 yrs ago! .... And the dietician Colleen says I still need 6 more months of being seen by a registered dietician......for my insurance to approve it.. um couldnt they have had this meeting 1st.. before i spent time and money going down 3 hrs away... friggen A......But my friend betty who i was gettin it with got her approval so she gets to start loosing at the end of june... and i have to wait till like january 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bull crap im so mad and upset... I already had my mind set that this time next year I would be a hottie!

Bridget, I know you are so upset hun and I am sorry!   I have to say that I had to do the 6 month weight loss thingie as well and it is really upsetting to have to wait but when time is right it will work out. I know this  is not what you want to hear but that is the truth...   Also know that many of us have to go see a phyc before surgery, some 1 time and others more then 1 time. For me I wish I would have started working on WHY I eat and how to deal/handle this before surgery not after like I did. It becomes so much harder after your honeymoon period is over and the way to lose is just as hard as it was before surgery! Hun I hope it all works out for you! please keep us posted!

I know how upset you must be and I am very sorry. Just remember though it's worth the work they make you go through and you can do it. Maybe you could call around to other doctors? Well I wish you peace of mind and keep us all updated. Nicole

Sorry to hear about your i nsurance dilemma. Unfortunately, thats the way they do things.  If you don't follow their instructions, then you won't get approved.  Everything happens for a reason.  Don't fret, 2008 will be here faster than you think. Marie

Yah i know.. it will all work out for the best in the long run.. get my mind cleared n stuff..... who knows .. .maybe after 6 more months with the doc... i will drop some lbs.. though i have gained 5 lbs in 6 weeks...........how .. i duno...

Hi Briget, I hate that sandi. she tried to tell me i drink too much water and not to worry about carbs and calories. but with someone like me that has PCOS we have to be careful of carbs. i am so sorry for you.  whats your insrance? i never had these problems . maybe the rules have changed since i had my surgery. 4 years at the end of aug. i am still not a hottie..  :-( but i'm working on it.........lol Anita

The fact that you don't sit and cry over it doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist. If you've got to do the six month diet thing anyway, why don't  you just look at the therapy as part of the process? I too had to do the six month diet thingy but i went on my insurance companies website and found out what they wanted so i knew i'd have to do it. The therapy i'm doing now and It's helping, this surgery is tougher then i thought it would be! Best of Luck to you. ANDI
