Today at 1:30PM I take my later of medical necessity to my primary care physician.He really likes Eatern Medicine so I hope he signs sure me anyway. Just send positive thoughts my way that he will sign (I am pretty sure that he will since he knows my struggle is important). Also send positive thoughts that he will provide me with the documentation of my past 6 months of attempted weight loss that I have done with him. I really need all of my documentation today since I work Tomorrow (Friday) & Mon and Tues followed by my appointment with the insurance coordinator at the Surgeons office on Weds.

Thinking of you! Sounds like you have all your ducks lined up. Great that you are a nurse and have that medical background. Good luck today -- keep us posted.

Usually my BP is near perfect even with my HIGH BMI. HOWEVER my BP was high today I was so nervous to ask my PCP to sign my paperwork......happy surprise (even though not really a surprise) he signed the letter of medical necessity and filled out a SOAP note/Progress note regarding my lady 6 months of weight loss attempts. I am gonna attach the report from my food logs for the last 6 months as well ( it shows average calories in for each week, BMR cal burned and calories burned by my activity). I am so excited that I might just fax in ahead of my appt next week. So all thats left is my consultation body, dietician visit and psych eval. Then wait for insurance to approve. This is getting real to me at this point.
