My Medical Dr.

Today i went to my last appt. with the surgeon. I had to see the surgeon 3 times and then my paper work can be submitted to the Aetna Insurance. I have seen the pysch, nutritionist, i have my endoscopy appt for 8/27. Now my hold up is the medical dr. I dropped off the sample letter for him to write and then forward it to the surgeon's office, so they can add it to their package to the ins. co. That was 2 weeks ago and he still did not write it yet. I am screaming inside. I am ready to have my surgery and start getting skinny. Anyone have this problem, I have already called his office twice. I will call it everyday until it is done.

I was there too, in a way. I had to get a referral from my PCP to a gastro to give me a referral to a bariatric surgeon. Had to see both before referrals, and that took a month. Looking back it wasn't so bad but I remember being very frustrated. Keep the faith, it will be soon enough!
