Guest guest Posted February 7, 2000 Report Share Posted February 7, 2000 i also have received a absolute NO from my pcp. even after my endocrinologist spoke with him 3x, the response was still a firm no. i know my pcp is a really bright and talented doctor (sans a personality though) and i trust him so i'm heeding his advice. is there anyone out there that had to convince their own pcp to support this? i'm in oxford and if i want this covered under the policy, i must get a referral from my pcp. also, my main curiosity that hasn't been addressed in this chat group is what are the long-term effects. does anyone know of someone who is post-op 3+ years? i know it would make a huge difference in my efforts to persuade my pcp if i could site positive long-term benefits with minimal side-effects. i think i will also pose that question to dr. r, too. thanks for the " ear.
