PSRS520

Require an EGD***

Does all bcbs require an end?? I don't remember that being a requirement

Wow! That was quick, well quicker than I thought. I hope mine goes just as fast. Good luck to u! When are u scheduled?

At my last nutritionist appt, before they send in my paper work for approval, c'mon BCBS!!!

Today had my first appt w/nutritionist, one scheduled for next week, then I'm done, then it all gets submitted to my insurance (BCBS), fingers crossed, c'mon BCBS!!!

Yes! yes! He did it! Wrote my letter of recommendation, thank u Dr. Now I need a nutritionist...

At new PCP office, and of course I forgot my insurance card!!! Can this get any worse?!

Today is the day I meet my new PCP. Hopefully this works out. Excited, nervous but keeping my fingers crossed. Wish me luck ✨????

Ok thx

I'm in casa grande az, close to phx

Yes, so next month shld go as planned ????

Update: my GYN will not write a letter either. It's ok I will not get discouraged, I will keep trying

Casa grande az

Thanks. I'm at GYN right now, I'll ask...

Thx. I have had a shut down (road block) alrdy today (see shut down topic) but I'm determined to get it done.

Thank u all! I will get this done and after surgery will make a visit to my ex PCP and show her how wonderful I feel and look

Thanks. I have an appointment next month alrdy for a new PCP.

Just finished w/my PCP and she will NOT write me a letter of recommendation. States I will be miserable after! Unable to eat anything but 2 oz of food. I can shed the weight on my own. States my Dr told me I was a candidate because "he just wants to make $" ugh this is not good, not good

Awesome!

Thank you so much! I'm so ready for this change and I welcome it. As I have tried everything as well to try to shed the weight, I am so ready for this. Thank u again. keep up the good work on your journey

I am considering the lap band surgery. I have done my cosult w/my dr. I have had my psych eval. All I need now is my letter of recommendation from my PCP, and my eval w/a nutritionist. If everything goes well I will have my letter of recom tomorrow (please oh please) Most people think I do NOT need this surgery as I hear "Oh please you are not that big, you can do it on your own" Well these people do not know all of my health situation. Im 34 and already on diabetic meds, told I have high cholesterol but was given no meds to help control it. My father (may he RIP) died at 47 from a full blown heart attack, he also had diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. I do NOT want to go down the same road. I have two babies that NEED me. With the Lords Grace I will everything I need and have this surgery done!! Anyone w/any advice please feel free to share it with me Thank you and good luck to all who have had the surgery and to those who might have it.
