Thank you all. I read Cinerbelles link. That gives me hope. I looked up two doctors in my bc/bs network. I want to call on Monday for this. I'm going to make a January Appointment. Hopefully he has sent the referral by then. Will I have to start over for another years diet with another PCP or can I just have him send my records to the surgeon and my new PCP? I'm thinking I will need to wait to see my new PCP for the first time after he sends the records over.
Are the Bariatric Consultants really on the PCP to get their needed paperwork to them once the consultation with the surgeon is done?
My Bariatric Consultant is going to be out of the office until at least after Christmas amybe even until the begining of ther year. The office girl said she was on vacation and that she knew she was back on the 20th but that she wasn't sure if she was going to work just a couple days and then come back after the New Year.
So she won't be able to sign me up until the 20th of December at the earliest.
He should have this referral in my then I hope.
I will talk to my B Consultant and see what she says about this ordeal. She may have dealt with it before. The sweet girl in the office answering phones was sweet and was going to have her call me.
So I guess I just have to wait. I just hope I don't have to go through the 12 month supervised diet with a new PCP
Thank you all again,
Brenda
