Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Hey Guys! I am so excited. I want to see my PCP yesterday. He is all for the MGB. I go back on 1/5/01 to have my total exam. Head to toe as he put it!!! I was so nervous. I started to talk to him about what I wanted to do and the next thing I know I am crying. I had to tell him I was sorry, but I get very emotional when I talk about my weight. He was very supportive. I have seen this Doctor for about the last 1 1/2 years, but it has been for sinus problems, cold, etc..... I was worried that he would not be supportive. I was wrong!! Yeah!! Sorry to ramble, but my dance is getting CLOSER!!! Love to you all, Dedee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Hi there Dedee, I was reading your post and it really hit home!! When I went to my Dr and told him I researched WLS and decided that this is what I wanted to do I cried too! Cried hard! Felt like a fool, but he sure realized quick how painful it is for me! I guess we're lucky that we have supportive PCP's. From what I've read from this list there are several people who don't and have to search for one that is. I have been approved by Dr R and am just waiting on insurance yea or nea. Take care and good luck with your journey! Bay City, MI PCP approval > > > Hey Guys! > > I am so excited.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Thank you . It sure does feel good to know that I am not the only person out there experiencing all of this. I feel like I have this huge (no pun intended) family to support me. I did get approval or a " favorable review " today from the insurance company. I sure hope that means approval. She said a letter would go to Dr. R's office. Who knows, maybe we will be littermates?!! Love, Dedee PCP approval > > > > > > Hey Guys! > > > > I am so excited. I want to see my PCP yesterday.
