When I first took the written exam they give you, I must of failed, well Cathy told my why and what we needed to do. She recommended more theropy and all I could think about is everyone wants more of my money, but boy was I wrong. Through her help, I now know that I do have an eating problem. She is helping me identify the causes and is assisting me in overcoming it. I would recommend theropy to all overweight persons

I have spok with Dr.Macgregor several times on the phone before I got my original apt. with her because I don't have much money & I had to tell her that I have to save up some money to be able to go see her so she could do the eval.I need for the surgery. Well I finally got the money I needed for the eval.and I did go see her. I was there all day even though I had an apt. I did get their a little early because I was ervous,but that is no big deal. I was """"EXTREMELY""""" disapointed with her & the way she did my evaluation. She really did not listen to me at all. She did some talking herself & asked a couple of questions,but she was in too much of a hurry to go home to really listen to what I had to say & the problems I have.All she did was ask a few questions & that was it, She then hurried up & left to go home. She left to go home before I was even finished with my evaluation. That was really upsetting and shocking! Right before she left she told me she was going home & when I was finished with my questions to just slip my evaluation under her door and someone else would pick it up later.I really expected a more professional person to do my evaluation. What also got me """"EXTREMELY """" upset is right before she left I asked her "In your professional opinion do you think I passed my evaluation?" she told me "I really don't see why you wouldn't pass; I think you did great!" So here I am all nervous & excited & thinking this is great; she told me she didn't see why I wouldn't pass my evaluation & I got approved from both of my insurance to cover the whole surgery in only 8 days so all I have to do is wait for her to submit my eval then I will more than likely be able to schedule my surgery! Well 2 weeks passed still she did not submitt my eval. She called me and asked if it would be ok to speak to my regular doctor,who prescribes my medication for my antidepressents &
refills.I really don't go to doctors unless I really have to.I told her & Dr.O'Connell from the very beginning that my regular doctor doesn't approve of any type of weight loss surgery.Dr.O'Connell had no peoblem with that at all. He was very understanding.In my regular doctor's own words he said "Weight loss doctors are all quacks" I told her he doesn't have anything to do with this so he shouldn't have any sayso about this surgery because of the way he feels. This is not his life, this is my life. She told me she only needs to talk to him to see if I am taking my Medication like I am supposed to & she promised that what he will tell her about how he feels about this surgery because he is against it all together. She promised me whatever he said about the surgery wouldn't affect her decision. She just wanted to ask him if I was taking my medication like I was supposed to which I had no problem with that because I always do what I am supposed to do so that is why I took her word for it & I did give her permision to talk to my reg. doctor.
Well guess what???????????????
Now I just got back my evaluation resutls back today after 4 weeks & Dr.Macgregor (DENIED ME!!!!!!!!!!)
So I asked the girl at Renew ( I AM SO SORRY I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I AM SO UPSET) but I asked her why was I denied & I explained this whole situation to her and what Dr.Macgergor told me & how unprofessional she was & how she just rushed through my whole eval.& left before I was even finished etc. ((( I SORRY I KNOW I AM RAMBLING ON & ON, BUT I AM JUST SO ENTREMELY UPSET!!!!!!)Anyway I asked her why I failed, she looked at my chart & specifically told me that Dr.Macgregor did say in my chart she was going to approve me, but she changed her mind after talkin to my reg. doctor.
""" NOW I AM REALLY UPSET!! """
""" I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW I AM SO DEVESTATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"""
I Would Never Refer Her To Anyone!
I really don't think I had a fair evaluation.

This lady is a doll! I felt so comfortable with her and she was so sweet to me. Dr. Macgregor was very sensitive about my feelings. She answered all my questions and gave me some good information as well. I really enjoyed talking with her. I was however expecting to get my results back in 2-3 weeks. It took 4 weeks though.
