I received a call from my surgeon's office this morning, telling me that the psychiatrist I saw for my evaluation has declined me. He said I need to see a trauma specialist instead of the psychiatrist I am cureently seeing, which is probably true, but has nothing to do with WLS. I have PTSD. I know it, and I am seeing a psychiatrist and therapist. I don't understand why he would say I shouldn't have surgery, when I am doing everything I should be.

I'm so sorry to hear this, I don't have any expertise in the area, but I just wanted to give you a Internet hug  and tell you to just keep pursing this with your surgeons office because many many many people get denied and go on to get their surgeries.

Hang in there!

 Well talk to the trauma specialist and give them permission to talk to your current psychiatrist and therapist.  Maybe the psychiatrist doesn't feel able qualified to deal with this and is just covering his rear end.

Give them all a chance to talk to each other.  

I know it's really easy to get ahead of yourself and I often talk to other friends to help talk me down off my ledge.  

Keep us updated!
