Default Researching new Dr.'s

I called Dr. C's office and was given a list of medical groups that are still referring to him. They read off the list and I only have the choice of 2: SCMG and Sharp Mission Park. Anyone know of any pro GBS Dr's in either one of these? Please PM me with your suggestions. Also, can a new Dr. submitt another Dr.'s documentation or do I have to start back at the beginning, i.e another 6 months medically supervised weight loss attempt?

No no. Britt they are not going to make you re-do the 6 month med supervised weight loss.

Make sure you have all the records transferred to the new doc.

If I were you, I'd get copies of everything... your entire chart.... including lab results psych eval... all of it... and hand carry them to your first appointment with your new doc.

I am sorry to hear all of this. I would get all of your records in your hands personally, so you HAVE them. Whatever you do, don't give up. You will not have to re-do your 6 months. I hope the transition is smooth for you. You have come a long way.
