I've been looking for a WLS psychologist in Anchorage. The ones I've called are either booked or out of town. And then, the others I called wanted to charge $130-$140 per hour for 3 hours. Yikes!. Can someone recommend a psychologist that you have used and was it reasonable? How long did your evaluation take? 3 hours? Seems excessive. Please help me. This is the last of my tests and I'll be done. -Wanda

Hi everyone, I am posting this for Sherri, ObesityHelp Web Services Manager: Greetings everyone! We wanted to get your feedback. Here at ObesityHelp.com we are always trying to help our members in anyway we can. We have found a special finance company that deals with financing surgical procedures such as plastic surgery and bariatric surgery and would like to hear your experiences and feedback with dealing with this company. Several people, as a back up plan, have applied and gotten preapproved for a loan, just in case their insurance company denied them at the last minute, so they wouldn't have to postpone their surgery. So, check it out, it's free to apply. :cool: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/finance_services.phtml And make sure to let us know how things went and help us to determine if this service is a benefit to our members.:deal: You can send your feedback to [email protected] For your privacy, please do not post personal information in your replies on the message board!! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!! --Sherri Carver, ObesityHelp.com staffmember

Hi there,, you can do like I have done for years now. I get two scales. One goes up to 350 and the other one goes up to 300 I think. It really don't matter. But what I do is step first on the heavy duty one, and then slowly/carefully step on the other one. Add the two weights together and there ya go! It works perfect. I too was angry because I couldn't find a big enough scale as well. It's a shame not even most doctors have scales that go past 350!
