Update! So, I have had my upper GI, all my labs, my nutritionist consult and my psych appt! I had 2 appts with my surgeon, my 3rd is Sept 15. My insurance only requires THREE visits before submitting for surgery auth...My surgeon will submit after my visit in 2 weeks!! I am SOOO EXCITED!

I have an appt with my new PCP on Weds. I have not met her yet and I am going to ask for the sleeve referral. I have already faxed my records from a weight loss clinic that I was going to, but I don't know if there is anything I should know about how to approach the subject with my new doc. I am DESPERATE! I am 30, struggling for 10 yrs. 5"2 247. That should be reason enough. I just want to make sure I say the right things to get things moving. Any advice?

WOOT WOOT!! My doctor sent the referral!!!!! I am so happy. I have to wait until the insurance authorizes the referral, which is about 7-10 bus days and then I will be able to get things rolling with my surgeon! Thanks to everyone who responded to my post and all of your positive thoughts and well wishes! HERE WE GO!! -

Unfortunatley, I have an *** and do have to go thru my PCP. On the brighter side, my *** is one of the best in Northern CA (Sutter Med Group) and the surgery is a covered benefit. The skin removal is even covered! (Med necessary of course.) I am just worried that my PCP is just going to spin my wheels because she is my new PCP and we have not met yet. I just want this done yesterday!!! Very anxious to get things going and don't want to say anything wrong.
