DENIED by bariatrics...Ambien

has any one out here ever been denied by the bariatric weight loss center after the screening process because of ambien sleeping issues ? I have everything that would qualify me with them and with the insurance company but was denied for what i will quote almost word for word: i need to start seeing a psych again and that the sleeping issues are not due to my weight there fore i do not qualify...ok, heres the the scoop on the psych thing, i have bpd and for those of you who dont know what this is: borderline personality disorder. Diagnosed when i was 21 but not had any issues with it , and i take meds for it but why would i be told no before i even had the chance to talk to a bariatric's psych? I can see if the bari psych was telling me no. ok so i havent seen one in a few years but thats because my insurance only pays for 6 months of treatment and by the time the psych and i would even get any where they were shoving me out the door and giving me a new quack and i would have to start all over again. Honestly, if i can get along all these years without them why now? So the main thing about me is that my brain is always ( on ) and in extremely fast mode...so i cried when the lady called me and told me its a no go, you know what? I AM more determined now than ever to finish this...i will have this weight loss surgery and i will not keep letting these people LABEL me and try to hide me! Where one door closes, another will open! So my question here is : has any one been denied because of (psych) issues and what happened? I honestly think that the ambien thing was just a cover. Theres tons of people out here taking the stuff, i just take it to quiet my brain long enough to fall asleep.
