Re: Re: Difficult Dr. THE END

[Guest guest]

Roxanne,

Don't ya just hate " know it all " " I am one step below God " doctors!!!??

My former PCP had alittle of that problem. When I went to him, after months

of research, about WLS he told me that we needed to discuss my other choices

for weight loss since surgery was a tragedy that people did to themselves!

Notice I said " former " PCP!!! I have neither seen nor talked to him

since!!(I had used him for a number of years.) I have found a wonderful

doctor-alot closer to home-who told me up front that in his experience, he

does not find any diet and exercise program works with the morbidly obese

and that though he has not researched DS surgery he agrees that it may be

just what will help me control this disease. He wrote me a wonderful letter

requesting that my insurance company approve the surgery for me. He read

the information I gave him about the surgery and found it very

interesting!! " It is a shame that we must have such a fight, but I feel

that it will be worth it!

Good Luck...keep us posted!

Jerry, Southern Gal from Louisiana waiting on approval

P.S. Thank God that he missed his " calling " to be a therapist!! No telling

how many " minds " have been saved due to this!!!

I'm curious about what doctor you are talking about. I'm still looking for

one I can feel comfortable with.
