Letter of medical nesscity?

They said I can see my OB instead of my PCP. When making the appt, what do I say its for? :sneaky:

I didn't make a special appt for this. Did you PCP refer you to the bariatric place? If so, then just call them and ask for the letter.

No he didnt. I found them on my own.

Then call to make the appt and tell them you're seeking a referral for bariatric surgery.

Will do! Thanks a bunch! This whole process makes me nervous.

There are a lot of hoops to jump through, but if your surgeon's office is organized and experienced, they should be able to guide you through everything you need to do to satisfy their requirements, as well as the insurance company. Good luck!

Dont stress about this letter. I totally did and put it off for as long as possible because I was sure my doctor would say no. They dont have to agree with lapband they just have to agree that you would benefit from weight loss. If you are BMI 40+ they should write the letter for you no complaints. Good luck :sneaky:
