New Dr is Great!
I think this PCP is great! He came in to the office and asked “So we have 6 months to get you to the Surgeon…is that right.” I seriously was so happy he new what I was talking about.

He is willing to do the weight, height, vitals check each month and he even called the insurance company right in front of me b/c on the criteria sheet he had a question to explain what a “Supervised Weight Loss Diet” consisted of. The insurance said like if the patient is trying to loose weight on her own and you are checking the status, or is on weight watchers and she comes in to check her status. But all they want is the doctor report.

Well I guess the only good news I have to report is that Since seeing Dr. Evil PCP on 02/11/09 and as of being weighed in today. I am down 5lbs.

That's GREAT news! All I have to say is WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This journey has enough ups and downs on it's own..the importance of a PCP who supports you should NEVER be underestimated! I'm so excited for you!

I'm so glad you went to a different doctor. I feel the old was way out of line for the way he treated you. Very happy for you!!
