i had to take a very long test, it was supose to take 4 hours but i got done in like 1 1/2 hours...it is just a bunch of questions about your life and what u think about things, it is really easy, it helps them to see your personality, boy did they peg me right on..lol anyhow good luck, it will be painless!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

A zillion and one questions (800 +) and 2 1/2 hours later .... most of my time was spent on the computer answering true and false statements about honesty (what I would do in certain situations or what I thought of others in a certain situation), how I feel/felt about others, how I feel about myself. Seemed as though they were asking some of the same questions over and over but in different ways. I had to make sure I read and re-read the statements/questions right, before I answered. Then she gave me a short interview, she was honest on what the insurance will approve or not approve. Though she said my insurance is fairly lenient. Another insurance company she does the tests for makes its patients go through therapy for any problems before they can move on. Though I think that is probably a good thing. No reason to leave something undiscovered before you have a life altering surgery.

The Psych will send the report over to Dr. Machado in a couple of days. My class is this Monday and then I get a schedule a one on one with Dr. Machado and go from there.
