shonda1536 10 Posted June 16, 2012 So... I called the bariatric surgeon to see what the hold up was to get approved. She said they were just waiting on medical clearance letter so I had to go see him AGAIN even tho I just seen him a month ago. Well when he found out I was having lapband he was being so dry.

Kflower84 56 Posted June 16, 2012 Sorry to hear that your primary doctor acted that way. I work at a primary doctor's office and when I started researching about my surgery he was very supportive. He told me everything he knew about it and assured me the risks were minimal. He's not my primary doctor but my doctor supported my decision as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grandma3 73 Posted June 16, 2012 My primary doctor is the one who gave me the card to the bariatric surgeon and said why don't you check this out. I think he is more excited then me when the scale goes down, my PCP is the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassiem93 39 Posted June 17, 2012 Find another PCP, I agree with grandma3 my doctor was the one who told me i need to lose weight and told me about the Lap Band. I had heard of it before but i guess i never realized how big i was unitil my own doctor told me i was morbidly obese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
