So some doctors do require it I believe but the doctor i'm looking at aparently does not so after a long visit I believe I will just call and see what are the steps to becoming a new patient. Thank you all, he basically said what you all said he would supportive with the surgeons opinion when I see him.

So my family's regular primary doctor retired and I am seeing this new doctor tomorrow for the first time for a new patient visit. I am wondering how I can talk about my interest in a referral for weight loss surgery and if it will be potentially difficult or will I need hit all these certain points or a criteria (besides my high bmi). I want to be geniuine and just talk about my issues and how I feel but I am afraid of being belittled or just told to be in a calorie deficit and exercise. My biggest fear is them saying no.

I was actually trying to decide between them and this one in birmingham I know two people have been to and loved. I haven't even got my physician referal yet.

Thank you so much! Do yall know where I can find information about getting started? I haven't even tried to find a surgeon or anything yet....

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself! I'm so excited to start my journey and appreciate each and every one of you
