Those of you who've had to have your doctor give you a referral what kind of information did you take along with you? I plan on writing up a brief history of my weight loss attempts and asking her to provide information from my chart about some of the efforts I've made through them. Any other suggestions? Thanks! You could just have your records sent over to your surgeon along with the referral. I know we HAD to have the referral and the full set of records always helps. Everything is documented in them.
