How to get my PCP to referral me for weight loss surgery.
marti33m posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I want to get weight loss surgery but my PCP won’t approve. I’m currently 294 with a height of 5 feet. They tell me no because I have no comorbilities. Does anyone have suggestions? -

Thank you for your advise. I’m currently in the process. I started my first nutrition class today! I’m very exited and hope they approve me. -

I’m 32 years old. He says I’m still young and surgery should be the last resource. -

Thank you for the advice. I’m going to change because I really need this surgery. I’m going to request a sleep study and hopefully it gets approved. -

I don’t. He did lab work and a complete scam and he said I’m healthy. I just need to lose weight. He said I should be able to accomplish by diet and exercise. But in the last 6 months I have gained over 40 lbs and I’m very stressed. -

I currently live in Texas. I need a referral in order for Medicaid to consider it; since I don’t have private insurance. According to Medicaid it has to be a medical need.
