North County SD or Temecula Valley
I need a good doctor to go to for my medical clearence, apparently the surgeon isn't allowed to do that and I'm pretty new to the area my former GP is in nor cal so he's not really an option. I live in the North Escondido area.

Re: North County SD or Temecula Valley
I didn't have to get my GP's OK to have the surgery (although she would have supported it). I just went straight to my surgeon.

It must be an insurance requirement.

I go to Dr. Anita Jackson (off hwy 79 in Temecula). I like her, but she is hard to get in to see.

Who is your band surgeon?

Re: North County SD or Temecula Valley
I'm VERY tahnkful becuase It was a very fast process for me.

I started the process on May 23rd (that was my consult) to being banded on July 9th.

As soon as I got out of my consult appointment I started making calls to set appointments for all the tasks Dr. Bohyrul requires prior to him submitting my case to the insurance. I finished by the end of June & insurance approval took 1 week.

Re: North County SD or Temecula Valley
what all is required i have done the pysch eval, blood work, upper gi, 12 lead, all the stuff my surgeon required however i haven't been able to get my physician to ok it because he says my bp is too high at 135/85 and told me to take some pills and come back in 6 months which i really dont want to wait that long.

Re: North County SD or Temecula Valley
Group Seminar
Pysch Eval
Diet class (1 class)
Private session with a dietician

I'm really surprised that your Dr. told you to take the BP pills and come back in 6 months. I would be looking for a new Dr. too!!!

My BP was just about where you are when I had surgery. In fact, my high BP helped me get approved by my insurance!
