Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Depression will not stop you. Trust me, I was locked up for 2 weeks when I was 20, due to depression and being suicidal. Don't stress yourself. Hugssss in Indiana Open RNY 2/25/04 265.4/219/135 5'5 " -- Question......... Hi all, Have yet another question.... I called my pharmacy to see if they had filled my Wellbutrin ( for weight loss, yet another " hoop " to get ins. approval, i hope ). They hadn't, the doc needs to get insurance approval first. I called the doctors office, they hadn't gotten the request from the pharmacy! sheeeeeeeeesh! They finally received the info.... now the question.... The drs. office has to put: " depression due to not able to loose weight " for the insurance to approve this medication. Now, if depression is in my medical record can this keep me from getting surgery approval? (physc eval) Hugs, " It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.
