How did things turn out for you? It was rough the first day or so but got progressively better over the next few days.

Same! First 1-2 days was rough. 3rd day I felt a bit better. The gas pain was terrible though. But I am struggling to get all my Protein intake in. How's that going for you?

Just had mine April 16

How's recovery?

Scheduled for April 25th! I'm a bit nervous because my insurance (Aetna POS) hasn't responded with approval or denial decision yet. Less than a week before surgery. Ugh!

OB/GYNs, internal medicine people, and pediatricians are all considered PCPs. So yes - a letter from an OB/GYN should work. Although if you want to be absolutely sure, check with your insurance company or the bariatric clinic (whichever one keeps bringing it up in their literature)

Thank you. I’ll definitely get to the bottom of it.

Oh this is great to hear! I will look into Zocdoc and go from there. I am hoping for the same results. Did you have to give 2yr weight history from cop or anything ?

Hi Peeps!
New member here. I have started my pre-op requirements ( I have Aetna). My expected surgery date is May 2. However, I am seeing everywhere I will need a recommendation letter for my PCP?? My surgeon hasn’t brought this up yet, but I think I will ask because I do not have a current PCP. Anyone ever experienced this? Can an OB/GYN account for one? Looking for guidance.
