So this letter of nessacity from My Primary Doctor is the only thing I have left to get to send it in to my insurance.

So I had a doctors appointment with him today & after literally Yelling & crying & Threaten to just find a another doctor

He finally agreed to write it for me. I told him I didn't want him to b the judge of whether or not I am getting it done That was a choice my insurance get to make.. So hopefully I can pick it up & fax it tomorrow So I can summit it to my insurance. This Wait is Killing me.. On a good not note when I went to my New patient appointment I weighed in @ 266 & today I weighed in @ 262.

So, what is his problem? Is he a non believer? Is he one of those who uses the word "Just"? Just do this, just eat that, just work out more, just eat more vegetables, just get a gym membership, just do what I do, just try harder? And then there's the "all you have to do is" fill in the blanks for that one. Sorry, that was a rant but I've heard it before.

That problem with stock phrases and one liners is a global one, i remember being told by my Doctor many years ago when i went there for a chest infection that it didnt help that i was overweight, my response to her was it doesnt help being told that by a doctor who could lose a few lbs themselves. If it was that easy to lose wieght how come they havent

grats on the weight loss and fingers crossed for a positive outcome for you ..

.....if i break a nail, i wonder if that dr would have said you know CG, if you only would lose some weight..........how stupid......hang in there GF

My primary care doctor was skeptical too! I saw her two months after I started my 6 month insurance required supervised diet and told her how my goal is to get off of my blood pressure and cholesterol medication. She continued to tell me that it may not happen and not to count on it, blah blah blah.

Well, when I saw her for my pre op visit in July she was singing a new song! By this time I had almost lost 30lbs and was becoming tired after taking my blood pressure pills. My blood pressure in her office that day was 102/70...the lowest in a long time. Anyways, she reduced my medication by half and started telling me how I can probably get off all of my medication by losing the weight.

Hang in there! You'll show your Dr. that you can do it and turn them into a believer!

I had a dr that no matter what I seen him for the remedy was always lose weight. He is a great dr but I finally had to change dr's because I always felt worse after seeing him and getting my butt chewed. When are dr's gonna learn that that isn't the way to 'encourge' a patient to lose.

Thank U every one for ur responds.. Called in Friday & he still hadn't written it up yet told them I HAD to have it Tuesday Morning & talk to his head office person & she promised me it would be done...

Not sure honestly what his issue was about writing this up for me, he is also a morbidly obese doctor & I will give him this much he has never ragged me about my weight, But like I told him I am not happy with my self & my weight & I have tried MANY different ways to lose it & losing it isn't a problem its keeping it off..

So now just praying that I get this letter Tuesday & can get it faxed to my insurance by the end of this week .

Well much to my surprise My doctor actually wrote me up a very nice letter & I was able to pick it up Tuesday & had everything sent in Wednesday & I called the insurance & know they received it & it is pending calling back every day till I hear something ....
