I think this may be the key, it sounds like these doctors are afraid that we are going to hold them responsible for OUR decisions. We should be telling them, I have decided to take the advice of the NIH and every other major study on obesity and have a gastric bypass. I have decided on this procedure because..... I need a PCP who is willing to monitor my lab work and give me an annual physical, are you willing to do that? Then if they start in on how gastric bypass surgery is wrong, etc... you can say, Oh, I have already reached MY decision, now I am just looking for a doctor that will monitor my lab work post operatively and will write a letter to Dr. R telling him they will do that! Safe journey, MGB 03 MAY 00 Safely on the other side!!!!
