Question - Please Offer Help

When I went through this process before I did not go through a psychological evaluation - I answered some questions in Dr. Gersin's office. Is this something I need to expect this time? Has anyone ever been approved and then decided not to do the surgery? I did that back in 2001 and now that I have gained 50 more pounds and can barely do my job and am taking 20 Ibuprofen (sometimes 25). Have decided that it's do or die. Also, I have obviously found the site I was looking for.

Sandi, I had Dr Gersin also and I had a phyic evaluation. What did Jessica say you needed to do? I thought he was the best dr and he gave me back my life. I mean it, I am so much more active and I'm losing weight and I'm happy and this is because of him. My surgery was Feb 5th 2003 and I've lost 56lbs, the last time I looked. If you have any questions just post them and I'll try and answer what I can but you should be talking with Jessica. Good luck on your journey.
