Psych Eval today...One step closer?

He said I'm a binge eater. My doctor said they do the psych evals to rule out a eating disorder. Will this diagnosis prevent me from having surgery? I mean really, I think most obese people have some sort of eating disorder or they wouldn't be obese, especially morbidly obese. My friend that saw the same counselor was told she was addicted to food and she was approved. I don't think this will stop my surgery, but makes me a little less confident. I think these evals are more to rule out a more severe eating disorder, severe depression or suicidal tendencies.

Any thoughts?

I really don't think you'll be ruled out, Bella. If anything they might want you to see either the shrink or NUT after surgery but I absolutely don't believe you'll be turned away. 

Thanks. I don't think so either. It just put some doubt in my mid. Before I KNEW I would be approved and now I'm just "pretty sure", lol. After this surgery my deductible will be met so I have no problem with seeing a shrink or NUT afterwards. I'll be glad to. Maybe they can help me in more ways than I may even realize!

I also don't think this will rule you out. In fact, it might help qualify you. Good luck!

Thank you! My doctor should have it by Friday then it will go to insurance!
