Suggested provider for psych eval

I received a list of approved locations for my psych eval and called the closes office to schedule.  I was told by the staff that the doctore there requires 8 hrs of testing and multiple visits before he will approve you for surgery because he doesn't agree with WLS while other offices only require one visit.  Rather than calling everyone on the list I thought I'd check here to see who everyone else has used.  I will be having my surgery in Hickory, NC.  Places willing to travel for my psych eval would include Hickory, Morganton, Gastonia and Asheville.  

Thank you!

I received a list of doctors to see for the psyh evaul in Hickory. The one I choose did the testing in one day and it takes 3 - 3 1/2 hours.

I would let your surgeon know what you were told. I don't know why someone who does not agree with WLS would be recommended by a surgeon who does WLS. Hope you have since found a good person for your evaluation. I now see the doctor who did mine twice a month and am thankful to have found her!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
