The computer says I have some suicidal tendencies. Wow was I shocked. Killing myself is never something I have thought about. The "team" of people only 1 of whom I have actually had conversation with thinks it's best if we stop the processright now and take some time for therapy. Damn technology. I understand the concern that they have about success rates and all but sometimes I can't help but think that they put people through all of this **** only to eventually do the surgery anyway but the liner it gets dragged out then the more money they make. That's how I feel about it right now. I'm so frustrated and have no one to talk to.

I know that a delay is the last thing you want but, in the long run, taking the time for therapy now will only benefit you in the long run.  Get as much as you can from the process before you move to surgery.

If I am understanding you correctly the office had you take an online psychological assessment? Therapy is good, and by all means we need to deal with our demons.... I just think it is weird they would base this on an online test. You can be depressed, and many people are going into this, without being suicidal. Get the therapy and then maybe consider another office.
