WoW! I met with my PCP today!
I am so amazed. I have read about how so many here have to "educate" there PCP so they can get a referral. I mentioned WLS to her and she said. "It definitely works and I think it woudl be great for you, I will write the letter for you as soon as I can and get it out in the mail to you," I was shocked. I was expecting some sort of battle or possibly even having to change PCP's. I guess since I live in a small town and my PCP is located right in town, I figured this may not be something she comes across often.
I am so happy. My first step is done! She is even going to make some calls to Medicare for me to find out their specific details on what documentation they want. Since they won't give me the information. I am on cloud nine right now. I am guessing, at the soonest August I may be ready for my WLS or at the latest December. It all depends on what the insurance wants. Can you imagine how excited I will be when I set a date if I am this excited about my PCP appointment. LOL...
