I went to my PCP today to get a letter required from my insurance to say that she believes the sleeve will help me greatly in weightless. I had gone 6 weeks ago to get the letter but she wanted me to lose weight first so she could see I could do it. So it helped that I was doing my medically supervised weight loss (also required by my insurance) and come to find out I've lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks! Which for me I awesome. So today she has the nerve to tell me I should hold off surgery and continue eating healthy and lose weight that way. It made me soo mad. I have been seeing this doctor for the past 8 years. She knows my history of weight issues. (Not to mentions she is overweight also) I would think that a medical professional would applaud someone who is taking action and wanting to stop this craziness. So now she wants me to continue eating well so I can get used to it then go back and see her in 6 weeks. I can't wait 6 more weeks. I need the letter so my surgeon can send my stuff for approval. I don't know what to do. I have a appointment with my surgeon tomorrow, maybe I can get someone from the office to call and have her write it. Sorry to cent just had to get it out.

This makes me so mad. This is so stupid too. Go to a different PCP if u can he/she will give u a referral just by ur records.
