He used to work as a "receptionist" at his father's business. It was busy work for his flappy handed junkie son. No idea if he's still "employed."
Unlikely. That’s not how the psychs that work with bariatric clinics work, and patients are given the names of “approved providers” of the clinic. They are really just trying to help with eating behaviours and get to the bottom of why patients overeat. Are they just gluttons, have an ED, or are they food addicts? Most are actually just gluttons, which is why they get approved. Gluttonous behaviour can be dealt with by physical restriction, the others can’t.
I loved this season. I knew from the getgo where she was going, even though she lied about a female surgeon out of state. I knew she wasn’t going to get an easy run through to surgery (next week) simply because she was self-pay. I knew when she talked about the people in the team she was seeing, that she was being totally non-compliant, and I knew that she was telling the team what she thought they wanted to hear, which is the opposite of what they actually needed to hear for approval. It really was a trainwreck for her, and a very expensive one at that. I love that by giving her every chance to succeed before having to throw her out of the program, that the practice managed to at least lighten her purse significantly.
Didn't she say the reson she stopped going to the therapist after the 12 sessions was because her "insurance wouldn't approve" the specific doctor they recommended? First of all she is not hurting for money at all, typical therapy sessions cost about 200-250 out of pocket and she is spending over 1k on semaglutide alone. Second, she has never had insurance, and even if she did I'm sure the clinic wouldn't just give you a single option that coincidentally doesn't accept your specific insurance company, as quoted above.
The funniest part was Amber telling us that the clinic never had a client so ready for surgery ever, but she had to decline the surgery because she could not have help during the recovery. In reality, she was kicked out of the programme and Jade had enough of her.
You might be surprised. Many clinics will only give one option, the psych they are partnered with. It’s a mutual referral relationship. Amber was given a shortlist to choose from, which is better, but as you say insurance wasn’t an issue for her because she was cash pay. Bariatric clinics know which insurers cover them, so with insured patients they’ll know which psychs are covered by the insurers that cover their practices.
But she wasn’t paying that until after she was rejected. She wasn’t paying for Semaglutide when she thought the 12 psych sessions was enough to get approved. She’s tried and failed to get WLS three times now. I’d expect she knows it’s off the table for her now. So next magic option is Semaglutide.
Um....as I almost had WLS 3 times in the past I don't think "approved providers" of WLS clinics are on the list because they are so wonderful at treating eating disorders. I was given a list of preferred psychologists to do my psych evals each time and they told me it was because they had the best track record of sending the reports to them the fastest . Lol
Correct - I'm currently overweight but not obese by medical standards . I'm pretty average American size these days . Which is fat. I didn't say otherwise lol
And you're pretty average American stupid, too.
comparing yourself to her to prove that you’re the “good” kind of obese/fat is a very hamber thing to do lolol
Snark on, bro! Lol
Go back to Reddit, gorl.
You're treading dangerous waters, my friend. Get out while you're ahead, we go for blood when people start talking like that here.
I'm like 99% sure he said he has charcot Marie tooth disease, which makes the hard for him to stand for a job as he used to work at Panera or something. He could def be a desk jockey working from home or something.
