DEAR SEBRINA, I`M SO SORRY , YOU FEEL SO ALONE, IN YOUR JOURNEY, TO WLS. THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO DO, IS SEE YOUR PRIMARY PHYSICIAN, AND EXPLAIN TO HIM OR HER, THAT YOU NEED WLS, AND HE HAS TO START THE BALL ROLLING. HE WILL GO OVER YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS, HE WILL ALSO RECOMMEND A SURGEON THAT YOUR INSURANCE WILL APPROVE. ACTUALLY, IN MY CASE, MY PRIMARY CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SUGGESTED THE SURGEON WHO DID MY SURGERY, AS HE WAS OUT OF PLAN, OR AREA. INFACT, THERE WERE NO BARIATRIC SURGERONS ON MY PLAN. YOU HAVE TO START WITH YOUR PRIMARY DOCTOR, TO GET THE BALL ROLLING. I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME, FOR YOU. LOVE, ELAINE OPEN VBG 9-16-03 222/195/ 115
