The pain dr was an er dr. I have set up a primary dr as well as testing for chlesterol and thyroid. I can prove my obesity for yrs through any er visits, my obgyn, ect I'm sure... I am going to get the paperwork from my acid reflux diagnosis and I have my back pain and arthritis er discharge paperwork too. Clearly I've been over weight for about ten years now. I had joined curves before and la fitness..... so I have tried. I just want to go to this first visit and get tested prior to setting up bariatric appt. I did attend a seminar already and plan to attend again to decide which surgery I'm aiming for. Thanks for the help. And anyother adive much needed
