My dr office (kaiser) sent me a letter asking for old dr records. 3 yrs back. Well, i didn't have a dr. What do i do? Should i send my kid doc ones? They do show me being overweight. Not sure what to do...

This was a problem for me too as well as many others im sure. I am not sure if this will work for you but I will tell you what I did.. I found all my childhood records and took them to my current doctor and he was willing to write me a letter saying that I have been obese for more than five years.

I did go to the ER once or twice, so its not that they want our weight records? I was thinking of just faxing my childhood dr the forms and the hospital.. My worry is its been close to 7 yrs so i wonder if m y records are gone. Its funny, youd think they would be ok with pictures. I even have a picture in the newspaper.. so its dated.. so if they dont believe ive been fat for an eternity ill mail them that..:tongue_smilie:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
