Non-Supportive PCP

Aug 23, 2011

Today is my last appointment for pre-op.  It feels so good to have completed that long list of requirements in order to obtain insurance approval.  My biggest obstacle has been dealing with my primary care physician.  As time goes on, it appears as though she is non-supportive of WLS.  My requests never get done even after she promises to do it tomorrow.  Tomorrow never comes.  I have found several work-arounds, but it's frustrating.  The PCP staff has sent the referrals on her behalf but they cannot send in the letter of medical necessity.  So now I wait for her return from yet another vacation!
