I went to my primary care for 6 months to document weight loss diet and I went to psychologist to get weight loss surgery evaluation approval. I also got a letter of medical necessity from my pcp. Those were the only things I did and got approved. Good luck and happy and safe journey!

Topic: RE: Staywell (medicaid)

I saw a nutritionist for my surgeon requirements, but PCP for my insurance approval.

Topic: Staywell Medicaid Question

Does anyone know if seeing a nutritionist is a must for approval or if my supervised and guided nutrition and weight loss program through my PCP and bariatric surgeon is enough?

So you never went and saw a nutritionist, right? Just did the PCP visits and you got approved?

Did you have to see a nutritionist or just the weight loss program through your PCP?

Topic: RE: Dr. Gonzalvo or Dr. Murr???

I love Dr. Murr if you mention my name to him he will know exactly who you are talking about, I have been seeing him since 2008, I have also seen Dr. Gonzalvo, can't say anything bad about him, he listened to my concerns i had at the time and helped with resolving my issues. I spent a lot of time at Tampa General, even got a couple of ride in their medflight....lol I don't want to put to much personal information on a post, but if there is a way to private message i would be glad to share my story.

best of luck
