Thank you again, Vivian! I will definitely try that. I'm not giving up!
God Bless

Maybe you can talk to the Bariatric surgeon your going through concerning this. Maybe they have one that works with them & they can bill the insurance through their office. Just a thought. Won't hurt to try that. Good luck to you.

Good morning,
The drive home from Austin yesterday was stop and go till we got to West Texas, took us five hours to get home but we had a great girls weekend.
Work all I have on my agenda today.
Got to work on getting lower numbers on the scale.
Have a great day!

Thank you, Vivian. I did do this, but ultimately found out that the problem is that Value Options will NOT pay for a psychiatric evaluation. I just don't know where to go from here. I can't afford to pay for the evaluation myself.
Hugs and Blessings to you, too

Good Monday Everyone, Hope we all have a great start to a amazing week or at least that is what we are all hoping for. We should all be grateful everyday for this WLS journey we are on along with so many things in our lives. First off we should be grateful for waking up everyday for another day to possibly make better choices than yesterday. Today I am so grateful for life. Grateful for my family and friends. Grateful for my WLS, Obesity Help, my OH Support Group, my WLS friends and for life after my weight loss surgery. I am one of the people who were fat my entire life. I still don't consider myself thin but life now is so much better than it was before my surgery. Life is truly what we make it and the more grateful we are for our life the more we appreciate what life has brought to us. I am truly grateful for everything and everyone in my life. Grateful for the warmer weather that is beginning to come to my area although it is chilly this AM it's not freezing cold. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed day. Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Recall the things that have held you back. And imagine how you now can get beyond them. Think of the problems that have frustrated you so. And imagine how you can now rise above them. Look at how far you've come. And imagine how far you can now go. Think of all that you've learned. And imagine what you can now do with that knowledge. Consider all you've done in the past year. And imagine what you'll now be able to do. You're now in a better position than ever to imagine the very best. And what you can imagine will lead to what you can be. -- Ralph Marston

I personally would call the insurance company directly and have them give you the name of a Psychologist who is listed on their insurance. That IMHO would be the easiest way to find one. Good luck and congrats on the 50 lb. loss.

Do I ever! My alarm clock nearly had a impromptu meeting with the wall.
Best news I could get this morning is that I don't have to go to court this afternoon. Occupational hazard.
Work top of the agenda and maybe getting some walking when I get home.
Keep a sweater handy.
I am having trouble finding a Psychologist or MD who will accept Value options. I have done every other required testing and even lost 50lbs., but I am at a loss to find out about getting the Psychiatric Evaluation! The listings in the Value Options handbook are often out-of-date and few. Can anyone help me please?!
So glad it's Friday! Not that I have any real plans for the weekend. Just ready to have a couple of days at home. DH is taking me out to dinner tonight. Might do a little shopping tomorrow if it doesn't storm. Need to plan a trip up to OKLA to visit family, but thinking I might wait on that a couple more weeks. Maybe the weather will be a nicer. Have a good day & weekend!
