i went and i THINK i conquered. she said since i didnt have diabetes, high blood pressure, and i could possibly be stress eating the insurance could deny it. i told her that im trying to prevent those. she said she would put in the referral, adding that it wasnt a guarantee. i honestly just wanted to tell her "look im trying to save myself 13k, ima do it with or without insurance thats how important this is, damn"!!! lol lets see how long this takes

You can always find a PCP that supports your cause! Anyway, my doctor referred me without any hassle. In fact he was very very supportive! I don't have HBP or Diabetes or anything other than fat. The fact that the doc is hesitant from the jump isn't a good sign...

My PCP thinks I can do it on my own and is not in support of my surgery. I just saw her two weeks ago for a cough and didn't even tell her I was getting it on March 12th. I will tell her afterwards. My GYN wrote the letter for the surgeon stating she knows I am getting it and is in support. My PCP gives great care and advise but is a tough cookie. Cant wait to see her face after I tell her I had it done. She will be doing a lot of head shaking and deep sighing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
