Well fellow nightowls, I am too excited to go to bed. I had a busy day

today. I had my echocardiogram this morning, then I picked up my PCP's

support letter and documentation and then my daughter and I got my patient

information form submitted tonight. The PI monster is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a relief!!!!!!! Following is what my PCP wrote.....

Dear Dr. Rutledge,

asked me to send this letter with regards to her request for the

Mini-Gastric Bypass

procedure. Her morbid obesity has been a long term condition that she has

battled with all

types of diets and medications including Fen-Phen and Redux. As with so many

of these

patients, all of her efforts to achieve a meaningful and permanent weight

loss have been in

vain, which prompted her to explore surgical options for weight loss. In my

medical opinion, her weight has played, and is continuing to play, a

significant role in most of her health problems, both physical and

emotional. As a result, her quality of life has been greatly impacted.

I have enclosed a copy of 's recent H & P for your review; but in

general, I feel she is in satisfactory condition, both physically and

psychologically, to undergo this surgical procedure. I will be happy to

continue to see post-operatively, in conjunction with you, to help

monitor her response to the surgery. If you need any further information,

please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours truly,

Dalton Rhea, M.D.

I really feel so blessed to have such a wonderful and compassionate doctor.

It makes me cry........... Genz

Dear Genz,

You did have a busy day! Congrats on getting the PI form out of the way; I

know it's a duzzy (sp!). It took me 3 trys to get it out. Also, what a

great Dr. and letter. You are very fortunate. I have to find a new Dr.

since we moved to GA. My old Dr. in IL was the one who suggested WLS to me

in the first place.

You are really getting all your ducks in a row. Good luck with your

surgery. When are you looking to have it? Soon, I suppose. Best wishes.

P. in GA

What a great letter! My PCP (who is very supportive but

apparently not much of a writer) wrote about 6 lines, ending with he

would support me after the surgery.

My packet goes off tomorrow and they should get it at Dr. R's office

on Thursday, so my fingers are crossed!

Dear ,

I am holding my breath, I want it as soon as possible. We have to see

what Prudential says. I found Dr. R's site and started this whole process on

April 7th. So things are really falling into place. I must say, my doctors have

been great in honoring my wishes for surgery and documentaion/support letters. I

was the slowest part in the process, but all of the great people in this group

kept proding me along until that patient information form was complete. I really

thank ya'll for that.
