HI!
I am new to the boards and I have a quick question....
I have done my research and have gathered the materials that I need for the bariatric surgeon (medical records & diet history) and I am ready to take the next step and make my appointment. I am ready physically and mentally. The only difficult part is that I need to get my PCP to make a referral for me. I have worked with him on a diet/exercise program, which has made a 5 pound weight loss in the last couple of months, of which I know will be back (I know, wrong attitude, but when you've done it so many times..). I am just not sure how to approach him and getting him to give me the referral. He is a die-hard diet/exercise gru, so I am afraid that he won't take me seriously or not want to give me the referral. I definitely need one for my Blue Cross to pay for it. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it. I really enjoy reading all of the posts and thanks for your input!
Thanks in advance,
Susie
