I had to fight my PCP for my referral and the only way I got it was by taking my daughter, the Lawyer, with me on an office visit.
He still thinks I never needed the surgery and was a waste of time. Come to think of it, six months ago he instructed me to stop losing when I reached 140 lbs. .......... I wonder, maybe, if he's not a "fatty chaser." *L*
Anyway, thanks for the input. I think I need a new PCP.

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."
