Switching surgeons?

[angels91 8]

My PCP and I discussed switching weight loss centers at my appt. this week. At my first appt back in October, I was told I would need to lose 66 lbs to even have my first meeting with the surgeon (have a very high bmi).

Fast forward to this week. I have only been able to lose 13 lbs since October. My pcp tried to order something to help with the weight loss, but insurance denied...no weight loss supplements allowed.

Her frustration, along with mine, is how much I have to lose before even meeting the surgeon. She feels that if I were able to lose that much on my own, I wouldn't NEED surgery.

They called another program in our state, but I can't get in to see them until March 30th. At this time, I will meet with both the program director AND the surgeon. In the meantime, I have to continue meeting with my NUT at the current program until then. I'll have my 6th NUT visit 2 weeks before this meeting. I also have my psych eval completed. The best part is...I won't have to start all over from my understanding.

Unfortunately, March 30th is the soonest I can get in. They're that far out already.
