Today Is My 6Th Month Weight In.

The exitement is kicking in again. I'm getting my PCP's letter today. Wow 6 month went by quickly I'm a bit concerned in the sample letter the Surgeon gave me it says weight/blood presure. Now my doctor only did the weight in he never took my blood presure (I'm not hypertensive) I'm killing myself with this because I did not look at the letter before this. I guess I'll find out today with my doctor if we needed this. Did anyone have an issue with this?

Drop by and have the nurse take your blood pressure ... no worries ...

Sorry, I don't understand. Your surgeon's letter says weight/BP and your PCP only collected weight. Why can't you drop by your PCP's office and have a nurse take your BP and add it to the letter?

Just would hate for it to be an issue.

Cigna required progress notes from my visits, which had height/weight, b/p, and temp for each visit. If you had to submit progress notes (office notes), then it'll be on there.

I went to my pcp's office yesterday he said not to worry about it he did an initial check up with weight/BP and temperature at the beginning and yesterday. So all is good lets just hope the don't come back saying they wanted this for all six month.
