My doctor refused to do the EPCP referral as well. I am in Berwick. I went in to talk to him about it a few times. I was annoyed at first as my BMI was/is over 50 as well. During the process the lapband team told me the rules had changed and the GP could simply use obesity for the reason. I went back to my GP and told him, he said to leave it with him. He contacted the governing body, cant remember who that is now, and obtained all the criteria. (which he printed a copy for me) Obesity was still not a value reason, I needed diabetes, etc. I had had some knee problems but there wasnt enough details in my history so no go for me and I gave up. (Plus given the $4k out of pocket, this didnt amount to much)

After speaking with the GP 3 times and seeing the forms, etc. I do think he was trying to help. He certainly wasted a lot of time chasing people. As he explained, as obesitywas not in the list he & I would be reviewed by the board if he submitted the papers with that alone. So, knowing what I know now, if you were going to do this with a new GP, you would have to mention those knee/back/joint problems and have it on file before the EPCP referral came up.

Hope this helps.

Lisa

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
