pCP letter of recommendation



Recommended Posts

So I'm about to go to an appt with a PCP. This is a new pcp to me, I haven't needed to see a doctor in god knows how long and all my comorbities I found out about from my surgeons testing.

I'm realllllyyyy nervous about asking for a letter of recommendation from this new guy. What do I even say? I plan on bringing a copy of my bloodwork I just had done and the stuff from the cardiologist and lung doctor.

This is literally the last appt and thing I need to do before I can submit anything to insurance and I'm FREAKING OUT!!

Help!! Advice! A hug? Lol

@@cryssyd3 Don't freak out just ask him. You are paying him for his service. He should do it for you. My PCP is new to me to and she gave me one one the first and only visit I had with her. You Shouldn't have any problems. Good luck.

Ive lucked out so far. I've only started this whole process less than a month ago. I got all my appointments done super quick, didn't need to wait 6 months like with some insurances (thank god) and now Monday I have my last nutritionist appointment. My goal was to have everything complete by November 1st when my new insurance starts and so far so good!

So exciting! I can't believe I'm actually doing this.

I'm glad you got it! I also had to ask a brand new PCP for the letter on our first appointment haha. I can understand why you were nervous!

OMG it was so nerve racking! And I barely had to ask him! I mentioned it to the nurse and she came back in and was like "ok, he'll be in in a minute and after the exam he'll write up the letter with you."

I must've said 'thank you' a thousand times, I literally almost cried hahaha

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
