i went and i THINK i conquered. she said since i didnt have diabetes, high blood pressure, and i could possibly be stress eating the insurance could deny it. i told her that im trying to prevent those. she said she would put in the referral, adding that it wasnt a guarantee. i honestly just wanted to tell her "look im trying to save myself 13k, ima do it with or without insurance thats how important this is, damn"!!! lol lets see how long this takes

You can always find a PCP that supports your cause! Anyway, my doctor referred me without any hassle. In fact he was very very supportive! I don't have HBP or Diabetes or anything other than fat. The fact that the doc is hesitant from the jump isn't a good sign...

My PCP thinks I can do it on my own and is not in support of my surgery. I just saw her two weeks ago for a cough and didn't even tell her I was getting it on March 12th. I will tell her afterwards. My GYN wrote the letter for the surgeon stating she knows I am getting it and is in support. My PCP gives great care and advise but is a tough cookie. Cant wait to see her face after I tell her I had it done. She will be doing a lot of head shaking and deep sighing.

my pcp and your pcp might be related lol. i just dont get how they can say just do it on your own, if it was that easy everyone would be thin dont you think??
