Topic: RE: Psych/Counselor?
Well, the first number I called gave me a 8 week or more wait list. I told them I'd call them back if I couldn't find anyone to do it earlier than that. Well, all the other people I called were of no help. Most of them didn't even know what a WLS eval was. I was like ummm, great. lol! So, I called the first number back and got another receptionist and told her I had called earlier and was told it was at least an 8 week wait and could I jump on the list and if it was possible to maybe be on the cancellation list if anyone else cancelled. Well, she says "Oh no, we can get you in earlier than that. How's Friday?" Woo Hoo! So, I am going on Friday. lol!!

Thanks! I just called the insurance company and they said I can self refer myself out and it will be covered as long as I haven't used up my 8 visits. (haven't used any! lol!) Now I'm just trying to find someone who will do a WLS eval and one that doesn't have a wait list of 8 or more weeks. Fingers crossed!

I agree with Johanna...check with your insurance company. You don't have to go with the psych/counselor Dr. G. recommends. Good Luck!

Most Ins do not even cover the psych eval... check with your ins company for names.

I called the number that Dr. Giovanni gave me and they do not take my insurance. So, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some psych's or couselor's that do WLS eval's.

Topic: RE: Scheduled my TT!!!
I am using Pierre Michaud of Northeast Institute of Plastic Surgery in Warwick.  The office staff has been incredible thus far... I paid 50 for the consult - which gets applied to the surgery - but that 50 was worth it even without surgery  - I learned a lot he was really thorough - there was NO rushing me either.
