Shut down!

Just finished w/my PCP and she will NOT write me a letter of recommendation. States I will be miserable after! Unable to eat anything but 2 oz of food. I can shed the weight on my own. States my Dr told me I was a candidate because "he just wants to make $" ugh this is not good, not good

That is so not true, imho. I've lost almost 50 lbs and I eat well... I don't eat 2-4 oz of food. If I did, I would lose sooner. I do, however, walk a lot and that definitely gets the weight off. I love my lap band. It has changed my life!! I no longer have high blood pressure or glaucoma!! Your PCP is wrong, imho. This surgery helps a great deal. A lot of people have benefited from it. My sister in law has lost over 70 lbs. Find another doctor!!!

New PCP!! Good girl. So many doctors are so misinformed. Makes me so pissed off I want to go to your PCP and calmly persuade her to WISE UP

[JustWatchMe 7,117]

New doc STAT! Don't give up. You're worth it.

how utterly arrogant of your PCP i'm so gald you are already taking your life/fate in your own hands by finding some one else. best of luck the lapband has so so many positive impacts it is so worth it as are you

[PSRS520 75]

Thank u all! I will get this done and after surgery will make a visit to my ex PCP and show her how wonderful I feel and look

[Summer Rain 245]

Just a thought but maybe your Gyn will write one for you?

Good luck!

Good luck to you. Too be so educated some drs are so stupid.

Amen to the above posts !!! He/she is sadly misinformed ! Reading the success stories here and other places will show you that there are many more success stories than there are failures. I eat more than 2 oz of food at one time, no more sleep apnea, im stronger, healthier and happier than ive been in along time ! Hopefully your new Dr. will be smarter and more knowledgeable than the last one ! Good luck !

[PSRS520 75]

Thanks. I'm at GYN right now, I'll ask...

[PSRS520 75]

Update: my GYN will not write a letter either. It's ok I will not get discouraged, I will keep trying

[Summer Rain 245]

Good luck with the new PCP. Is the new PCP one that the surgeon's office recommended?

[PSRS520 75]

Yes, so next month shld go as planned ????

Don't be discouraged. As long as you meet the criteria of BMI over 40 or over 35 with issues why should they not write you the letter? I had a totally new doctor refer me so perhaps you can post where you generally live and someone here can refer you to a more Enlightened doctor!
