I need a good doctor to go to for my medical clearence, apparently the surgeon isn't allowed to do that and I'm pretty new to the area my former GP is in nor cal so he's not really an option. I live in the North Escondido area.

I didn't have to get my GP's OK to have the surgery (although she would have supported it). I just went straight to my surgeon.

It must be an insurance requirement.

I go to Dr. Anita Jackson (off hwy 79 in Temecula). I like her, but she is hard to get in to see.

Who is your band surgeon?

I'm VERY tahnkful becuase It was a very fast process for me.

I started the process on May 23rd (that was my consult) to being banded on July 9th.

As soon as I got out of my consult appointment I started making calls to set appointments for all the tasks Dr. Bohyrul requires prior to him submitting my case to the insurance. I finished by the end of June & insurance approval took 1 week.

what all is required i have done the pysch eval, blood work, upper gi, 12 lead, all the stuff my surgeon required however i haven't been able to get my physician to ok it because he says my bp is too high at 135/85 and told me to take some pills and come back in 6 months which i really dont want to wait that long.

I'm really surprised that your Dr. told you to take the BP pills and come back in 6 months. I would be looking for a new Dr. too!!!

My BP was just about where you are when I had surgery. In fact, my high BP helped me get approved by my insurance!

      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...

      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
