Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 Margie, You are a very patient individual. I want you to know that i talked to my PCP about the MGB on May 1. I had not had a physical, pap smear or mammogram in years. My PCP and I talked about the positives and negatives of WLS. He set me up to get all my tests done and I had the MGB on June 2. Don't let him jerk you around, tell him you need to know if he will support you because if he has no intention of agreeing to this he is wasting time for both of you. Good Luck.
