Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 I dont think her problem is finding a wls surgeon. I believe the problem is finding a primary care/family doctor that will provide the referral to a wls surgeon. ~~Pat~~ Orlando, FL 252/189/160 (-63) BMI 37.2/28.5/23.6 52 Years Young LAP-RNY 12/10/03 Wayne English, MD Ft Lauderdale, FL Message: 3 Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2004 16:42:40 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: DOCTOR REFUSA; go to obesityhelp.com to find a doc in your area ... you live in a highly populated megalopolis and between baltimore, philadelphia and washington, dc there are definitely going to be doctors willing to do the bypass operation debbie swansburg parisb4470 wrote: MY FAMILY DR.
