Question Do I have to wait?

I found a psychiatrist that takes my insurance and I'm wondering if I need to wait until further down the road to see him or if I can go ahead and make an appt. Since it will be recent, would that count as my psych eval? I just want to get as much done as possible- the faster I get everything done, the faster I get my date, right?

Yes, I would wait on this. I had to take a specific form to the psychiatrist (from the surgeons office), that she filled out during our visit.

well you can start seeing someone right now to start therapy about "weight issues" there is nothing wrong with that at all. A little therapy can do anyone a bit of good. When it is time, you can get the clearance then.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
