Hi Karely007! I'm in the same boat as you!
I met with my surgeon last week and he filled me with such great outcomes with his patients and testimonials. I know he is a great Dr. I was so excited to move forward with this until I went to my PCP to have her fill out insurance forms. She is very opposed to this, to say the least. She filled my head with a lot of negative things and now my head is reeling! People gaining the weight back, leaks, blood loss, etc, etc. She insists I need to try Weight Watchers to lose the 100+ lbs. Ive tried atkins (many times), Ideal Protein, and countless diet pills. Always gaining the weight and more back. I'm young too and I want to better my life now.
I guess I really just need words of encouragement. haha! I still want to proceed with VSG and plan to do so! I'll have to figure a way to get those forms to her to sign... Did anyone else have these problems from their PCP? Someone also mentioned maybe a second opinion?
Thank you for anything you have to assist me!
