So frustrated!

I live about 2 hours from the hospital that will be doing my surgery once it finally gets schedualed and all I'm missing for it to get schedualed is the psych eval and no one in my town wants to do the eval or they aren't covered under my inssurance so now I have a call in to a psychologist that is in the town where I will be having the surgery and I am crossing my fingers and toes and hoping that he will be able to do this eval otherwise I may pull my hair out. Sorry I just needed to vent  

Ohhh very frustrating for sure! Trust me it will be worth it to make the drive if you must. Doesn't your surgeons office have a psych eval person they work with? Mine did, even tho I had my own that manages my antidepressants.

You may also consider attending that hospitals support group and asking others where they had thiers. I know its a very long drive, but again, it may just be worth it to get it done and get your date.
Best of luck in getting through this. Keep us posted!

I know how you feel.  I had my surgery in another town and I had to go out of town for everything.  Hope all goes well with you.  I'll be praying for you.

Pamela, we are so dedicated to getting the surgery for our health that most of us will drive to wherever we need to complete the necessary insurance/surgery hoops for qualifying.  If you must, go ahead and do the drive, shows that you mean business and really do want to have your surgery done.  I found out that I could get in quicker by going to the psych that was available at the hospital where I had my surgery done.  The wait for a local appointment would have been 2+ months.  by the time I arrived at this point in the journey, a drive to the hospital (an hour for me) seemed reasonable.

Best of luck in completing the needed requitements.  Lots of hugs and support headed your way.

Oh I am more than willing to do the drive it's just really frustrating when someone who is covered under my insurance can do the eval but she chooses not to do the eval anymore because she would rather work with a person before and after the surgery. But I have an appointment at the begining of August in the town where my surgery will be so I'm happy now lol

Sooo happy to hear you got an appt! You go girl!!!! before you know it you will be on the losers bench!
