Lelito-psychologist in Buffalo pls help others!

Hi all, i'm new the site...but i saw this topic i needed to respond....my appt was with Lelito this morning at 10am....i was all set and ready to go,  he called me at 8:30am and told me he had really bad food poisoning and would have to cancel, but they could get me in soon and would waive the copay.  at the end i said 'hope you feel better' cuz i'm a nice person and all, and he hung up! lol
this is my last step before approval, my co-worker just got his approval, he had Lelito as well and he didn't recommend anything for him.  he said to not talk to much...keep your answers simple and he actually printed out the script for bariatric surgery online, you see all of the questions and prepare your answers ahead of time....even tho it's not like most of us eat crap....no one's perfect but apparently he thinks they should be....i'll probably post again after my appt.
:)
they need to get rid of him

I saw Dr. L too, I thought he was a total spaz, but he didn't give me a hard time. I kept my answers very very short...like one or two word answers, and I didn't offer up anything that he didn't ask. I can be rather assertive and I maintained eye contact with him the entire time I spoke. When I told him that I was on an anxiety med and that mu primary and I had discussed going off of it now, he suggested that I wait until like a year post-op! That was surprising. I also lied my butt off when he asked about what I eat! Pleeze...like I am gonna tell a psych doc whose job it is to judge me that I ate a half of bag of snickers for dinner  ok so that may be an exagerration, but yeah...I said I eat alot of yogurt, and veggies wit EVERY meal...which I of course prepare at home! BTW how did he get food poisoning, huh? not at some dining establishment I hope! And if he even tried that bananna crap with methey would have had to call 911!!!!!
Really I am totally non-violent ...but he is a spaz tho!

Lelitto did my pre-op psych consult 1 1/2 yrs ago. He was aarogant and condescending to say the least. Stated I was nowhere ready for surgery and that he was going to recommend 6 mos. supervised diet, nutrional counselling, and a psych follow up before I could have WLS. Also said I could beneift from further sessions with him due to childhood trauma (probably true, but not w/ this jerk). My friend and I had surgery together. She used Lelitto too and found him to be an asshole. We work for the same agency and have the same exact insurance coverage. Lelitto charged me $8.00 more than her and never gave either of us a receipt. When she called a few days later he refused to send her one. I was worried as hell that I had "failed" the eval and would have to wait for my surgery. Less than 2 weeks later I got the call from Deann at Synergy to schedule mine and my freind's dates. No 6-mos. supervised diet and no f/up psych eval. Only a nutrtional class which my insurance demands. I know that Synergy uses some other psychologist, 'cause a colleague of mine had surgery w/ Synergy back in Feb. this year and she didn't go to the asshole, Lelitto. I think he needs a psych eval himself!
