Hey, I know this is an old post, but I will be having surgery with Dr.Matei...how was the experience???? im kinda scared

Yes, I have an appointment with another MD, Let's see what happens (fingers crossed)

Thanks so much for this advice. I am going to try and get this to work.

I had a pcp we spoke about my weight but never put me in a supervised plan. I myself tried multiple ways to lose weight by trying Herbalife trying cabbage soup diet taking diet pills that a different dr prescribed them to me. I changed my insurance recently and now have a new pcp. I came totally not prepared when I saw my new ARN as pcp. But I scheduled with a different doctor and am collecting all my old medical records that shows my attempt with the pills, Herbalife, gym memeberships, lab works, and records that show I’ve been obese for over three years hopefully this doctor can understand 😞

Hey! is anyone from Miami that can recommend a PCP that agrees and helps patients to get the sleeve? Please help my doctor didn’t want to give me the medically necessity letter unless I do a 6 month treatment but not even my insurance needs that much time.

Hey Guys, So I had my first appointment with my surgeon on Monday it went great, they set me up with all my appointments and told me if everything went well i would have my surgery by ending of October beginning November. I was super excited UNTIL today. I went to my doctors office to get some more referrals i needed and asked him for the Medically Necessity letter and he said NO. He needed to observe me for an addition 6 months. I can't believe not even my insurance is asking for that much time. Does anyone have any advice, please help.
