letters from orthopedic Drs and poditrists?

Hi Gina, I was seeing an Ortho Speicalist before surgery but I had already had my surgeon send the recommendation/request for WLS.  She did mention in her report that I was seeing the specialist and what kind of issues my knees were having.  If your General practioner didn't include that in her / his request you might want to have your Ortho Specialist send your insurance something too? That was all in Calif. and it was harder with the insurance I had to get the approval. I didn't end up going with the surgery there but  here (NY) my WLS just sent in the request and we got it pretty easy. I am so happy that I finally have help with this whole process!  My knees are a mess but beginning to get a little relief.   What do you have going on with your knees? Sandra
