Well, I finally did it. After kissing two frogs, I found a wonderful PCP who is extremely open minded about gastric bypass surgery, and does not believe that just diet and exercise work for everybody. I got my referral to Lite Dimensions yesterday. I cannot wait to get my first consulting appointment. I will keep you posted as I go along the process. The key here is to be proactive. I came armed with a complete list of all of the problems I am having, personal and health related. Do not leave anything out no matter what you may think. Let the physician decide. I also came armed with a complete list back to when I was a little kid of all diets and fads I tried, whether medically supervised or on my own. Again do not leave anything out including the name of the product used. My PCP was overjoyed that I was so prepared as well as stated that I took all of the hard work away from him. So, do not give up hope, just stay one step ahead of the process. My PCP will now have the info if my insurance asks for it, instead of it being the other way around and needing to ask me for it. Take care!
