Less of Leslie

WOOT WOOT!! My doctor sent the referral!!!!! I am so happy. I have to wait until the insurance authorizes the referral, which is about 7-10 bus days and then I will be able to get things rolling with my surgeon! Thanks to everyone who responded to my post and all of your positive thoughts and well wishes! HERE WE GO!!

Unfortunatley, I have an *** and do have to go thru my PCP. On the brighter side, my *** is one of the best in Northern CA (Sutter Med Group) and the surgery is a covered benefit. The skin removal is even covered! (Med necessary of course.) I am just worried that my PCP is just going to spin my wheels because she is my new PCP and we have not met yet. I just want this done yesterday!!! Very anxious to get things going and don't want to say anything wrong.

I have an appt with my new PCP on Weds. I have not met her yet and I am going to ask for the sleeve referral. I have already faxed my records from a weight loss clinic that I was going to, but I don't know if there is anything I should know about how to approach the subject with my new doc. I am DESPERATE! I am 30, struggling for 10 yrs. 5"2 247. That should be reason enough. I just want to make sure I say the right things to get things moving. Any advice?
