Guest guest Posted June 21, 2000 Report Share Posted June 21, 2000 Yay Jenn!! Hang in there!

Last Sat I went to my GYN, for the PAP test that is required for the packet, and had a great talk with her about my having the MGB. She totally supports this! WooHoo! She even said that she'd write a strong letter of recomendation to my insurance for it... to compliment my PCP's letter. (At that time I wasn't sure about him writing me a recomendation letter as I'd not been able to speak to him yet at that time.) What a great gal! Today I got a call from my PCP's nurse. She handed the phone over to my PCP after verifying that it was me on the other end of the line. Dr. and I had a SUPER talk about WLS, options, and why I believe the MGB is the best option for me. He shared with me that his Dad had WLS a few years ago and from watching his experience he was definately a believer in how appropriate it would be for me. (Yahoo!!) Remind me to send his office a big fruit basket in thanks!! The results: My PCP is sending my chart notes to the insurance along with a very supportive letter re: my having the MGB. He's also writing to the insurance that he wants only Dr. Rutledge to do my procedure. (For coverage at in-network rates) In addition to this, he is moving my sleep study (for diagnosing sleep apnea) up to ASAP... I should hear tomorrow when I can have that done. In addition, my GYN is sending her chart notes and a strong reccomendation to the insurance company as well. I'm very very excited... I should have my packet done very soon!!
