I have a doctor's appointment in a couple hours where i plan on asking my doctor for a referral so I can get a VSG my bmi is 49.7 I'm 24 and my family keeps saying no they won't do it (we all have the same doc) I've decided that this is what I want to do but I'm scared of rejection

I called my pcp a couple days ago and they are still working on the referral I'm so anxious to get the ball rolling I wanna know what happens from here on out...and I'm obsessed with watching vids from people who have gotten VSG on YouTube lol thank you for checking on me [emoji175][emoji4]

I’m not sure where your from but I didn’t have to get a referral from my primary care, I had to go to a Bariatric seminar and while I was at the seminar I had to fill out paperwork with my insurance information on it and the surgeon’s office handled getting all the approvals I needed. I had to go through a 6 month weight loss period with my primary care before I had the surgery. I just didn’t really give my PC much choice on my first presurgery appointment I was like this is what I’m doing and this is what I need you to do.

Congratulations
