I had only seen my PCP for two weeks before I had my surgery. My original

pcp wouldn't support me and I had to find another one.

Nothing like needing a physical, pap test, and mammogram to create a

new relationship with a doctor! YOu'll need a doctor to do your

blood

work in the future and who will be familiar with the fact you have

had

this surgery and who can work with Dr. Rutledge if anything comes up.

So, may as well take advantage of having to get all this health

testing out of the way to establish a realtionship with one in your

area.

All you need is the physical (by that doctor) along with a letter

that

says s/he will be glad to supervise your medical needs and perform

any

blood tests you need in the upcoming years, or something to that

effect.

My PCP is a doll and actually used to assist in weight loss surgery

himself, and he was very supportive, but his support letter was only

2-3 lines long.

Kind regards,
