So some doctors do require it I believe but the doctor i'm looking at aparently does not so after a long visit I believe I will just call and see what are the steps to becoming a new patient. Thank you all, he basically said what you all said he would supportive with the surgeons opinion when I see him.

So my family's regular primary doctor retired and I am seeing this new doctor tomorrow for the first time for a new patient visit. I am wondering how I can talk about my interest in a referral for weight loss surgery and if it will be potentially difficult or will I need hit all these certain points or a criteria (besides my high bmi). I want to be geniuine and just talk about my issues and how I feel but I am afraid of being belittled or just told to be in a calorie deficit and exercise. My biggest fear is them saying no.

I was actually trying to decide between them and this one in birmingham I know two people have been to and loved. I haven't even got my physician referal yet.

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself! I'm so excited to start my journey and appreciate each and every one of you

Thank you so much! Do yall know where I can find information about getting started? I haven't even tried to find a surgeon or anything yet....
