SWANY

Hello Everyone, I am new here and I have been reading a lot of post here and everyone has been helpful. So i decided to get VSG in Jan of this year. Had a consult with my surgent and continued to do all the preliminary appts. Everything went fine. That is until I went to a new PCP. Its actually funny but I havent had a PCP as an adult. I just went to a doctor if I wasnt feeling well. Well here is the problem. I dont have a history with my new PCP so she doesnt now much about me. I have been seeing her for 3 months now. So when it came time for her to write the letter for the insurance company, she wrote a note like I was going back to work. I then asked for a new letter and she wrote another BS letter that was a little longer then the last (all of 6 sentences). I would think she would know how to write a letter for approval but obviously not. So I had the surgents office call and request a 3rd letter. I am just worried that I wont get what I need from her and get denied. I have a VSG date for June 23rd. I'm just nervous. Im am thinking of going to my family doctor to see what he can do.

June 23rd here!!!:thumbup1:

I feel your frustration. I went to my doctor almost 3 weeks ago and received my date for June 23rd which is a long wait. I went through all the doctor appointments just to be held up by my PCP. She sent in a note to my surgeon as if it were a doctors note to go back to work. My PCP has been holding me up for the past 3 weeks from getting approved. I cant believe how inconsiderate some people in the health profession can be. Wish me luck I have Oxford.:001_tt2:
