Your Dr.'s office should have all the info they need for the letter from your file. Some offices charge for filling out any forms---others fill them out, write letters, whatever, as part of your care. My PCP, wrote several letters for me, all at no charge. He always made sure I got a copy of anything he sent. I will say after the first one, I truly wished he would let me write it and him sign it---he was short and concise, I felt he should have detailed more----but it is in the past now!!!

Good Luck----welcome to LBT!

I just asked my doctor to write me a recommendation letter and he did, free of charge. I gave him an idea of what they were looking for and he put it all in the letter and gave me a copy. It did the job cause not long afterwards, I was approved!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! ๐Ÿ˜ž
