Speechless

I am lucky that I have a great hospital to get this surgery out. The team there is amazing. The ONLY reason that I didn't have my monthly physician appointments done through the hospital was because of the commute (I live an hour away). Everything else i am having done through the hospital. I thought I had a decent internal medicine doctor that I see for all my routine stuff, but I do not. It's best I found this out now. It's obvious that weight loss is not a topic he is comfortable with, even if I am the one bringing it up. So it's best I find a more suitable primary physician now who can be comfortable in approaching my health from all angles.

Sorry your Dr is a butt. They aren't all like that.

I could do the pre-months thru my Bariatric office but went thru my PCP since I work there.

My PCP is the one that suggested the sleeve for me.

This is extremely hard since you need to be signed off by your doctor to get the approval letter sent to your insurance. I found away around going to my primary doctor and went to my obgyn. she was caring, compassionate and sent in the referral for my revision surgery. Now I drive 2 hours away (4hrs round trip) out of network to get the proper care from my New surgeon. So there is an additional cost but I think I am worth it! Good luck!
