How do you get your doctor to approve this surgery? What are the first steps..
by the way I have Healthnet HMO | You have to get a referral right - cuz you have an hmo - and this is your pcp that's tellling you to lose weight - imho your doc is assh*le. I was 250 and am 5'4 too when I met with the surgeon, but I have a ppo - so i went directly to the surgeon in my book - can you change pcp docs to someone who is more understanding -
