How to bring it up?

I have a dr appointment tomorrow. Just a routine thing. But how do I bring up weight loss surgery with my doctor?

I was always a very healthy person for my size. Aside from joint pain I didn't have issues. Even my asthma is controlled without medicine so I didn't go to the Dr much. Last year on 6/19 I went to my PCP just to refill my prescription. Sitting there I just blurted out "I've been thinking about Lapband surgery. What do you think." He looked straight at me and said he'd support me 100% and do whatever I needed to make it happen. He gave me a referral that day and I was meeting my surgeon less than a month later.

I truly consider that man to be my hero and for that day to be the 1st day of my new life. Could not love him or my surgeon more than I do.

  • 1 month later...

my pcp is pretty on board with anything i throw at him so im sure he'll be on board with this too being he has seen my weight go up and up these past few years and all the desieses ive gotten from my weight

My PCP was the one that told me to have WLS.

I simply said to my GP that I am wanting to explore the option of getting the gastric sleeve, and if he knew any surgeons that he would recommend, my GP gave me some basic info on the sleeve and wrote me a referral for my surgeon, he was more than happy to help me
