Hi everyone! I’m new here and have my first consultation on 6/16. I have a history of depression and anxiety where I have been hospitalized twice for it. My last hospitalization was a little over a year ago now. I have to admit that I don’t take my psych meds as I should but I have been for the past three months. I do not want to follow with my current psychiatrist anymore because quite frankly, I cannot afford it. I am looking to get into Coleman’s mental health services which they will take you no matter if you can pay. Which is great for me! My concern here is that I wasn’t taking my medications like I should be, even though I am now, and I haven’t followed up with my psychiatrist in about a year. But I am looking to get a new one. Will this hurt my chances of getting approved for Bariatric surgery? On my medical record, I have missed a few appointments recently but my dad was in the hospital after experiencing cardiac arrest. I missed these not thinking because I had so much going on with taking care of him. I’m just worried about everything and keep thinking of ways they could say no. What do you guys think??
