You are not alone in having issues at a year out. I am so there with ya, Sister! Dr. Keller is at WW and I remember from my pre-op visit with him, he said anytime I needed to see him again would be ok.

Yeah, Dr. Keller sees all the patients at WW. Usually your 1 year post-op includes seeing Dr. Keller, but maybe since you hadn't seen him before surgery they didn't schedule it? Either way, just call up there and you can make an appointment with him.
Topic: RE: therapy after surgery.
I would talk to your doctors office and see if they have someone that you can talk to. I know that my doctor sent me to a therapist pre-op for counseling and I did ask her about coming to visit her post-op if I needed it. Best of luck to you. I'm glad that you were able to realize that you had made some bad decisions and were able to fix them but it had to be scary.

Topic: therapy after surgery.
hey ya'll,
so i finally hit my year out last week, but around that same time, i started having some "head" issues. i made some dramatic decisons (thank goodness was able to repair and fix once i realized it really was not how i really felt.).
and well i feel i need to go speak to somebody, and my bf agrees.
i also find myself getting more angrier lately, and ive never been an angry person of any sort my whole life.
i dont know what to make of all of this, i go to weight wise, and i vaguely remember them having a therapist in office, but can anybody help me with this? or if they dont suggest somebody?
i see dr. walton on tuesday and i really truelly believe this is related to my rny and losing all this weight in a year.
any help would be appreciated!

Topic: RE: Medicare Requirements?
It will depend on a lot of things, her co-morbidities, how well her primary doctor documents her existing condition, how aggressive the WL surgeon is in pursuing Medicare, how responsive the govenment case worker is...etc etc.
I've heard 6 months to a year....but she will need to be aggressive in fighting for the surgery.
Good luck,
