Psych Clearance
Jun 19, 2014
Hi,
I just came back from the meeting with the Behavioral Health people and she said that she felt I was a fair candidate for the surgery, but she did recommend (and that she would recommend to the rest of the medical team) that I get therapy to deal with the binge eating issues as well as to provide an extra level of support. After she writes her letter I will know the exact wording of what she said. It will be up to the surgical team and the insurance company whether getting that in place will be a requirement for surgery or not. I am kind of happy with the recommendation (except if it could block surgery) because I kind of felt that there was some kind of psychological issue and it is nice to have a professional opinion stating that.
So, in a week, i should know a little more on this front. I was hoping it would be resolved today. I mean clearance, I didn't expect my binge issues to be resolved.
So, tonight is the sleep study where they fit the CPAP machine. I am already really tired because I had to get up a little early to make the appointment. I don't know if that is good thing or a bad thing to be extra tired. Oh, well, I don't want to obsess over it.
