please help

Hello I was wondering if anyone with medicaid or without was sleeved at evergreen hospital in Kirkland, WA how was the process? Your experience. Also how do u think I should approach my pcp about bariatric surgery? Im nervous. And I've talked to her 2 years ago about my weight all she said was do a low carb diet etc but I've tried everything imaginable! Atkins hcg drops garncia cambogia weight loss teas juicing every weight loss pill. Etc I just hate being judged. I know bariatric surgery isnt a magic pill but a tool. 

Stats:

Hw: 265

5'3 

Bmi: 46 ish?

Pcos: hard to lose weight, darken skin in different areas, hair, loss of menstruation its been almost 3 years since I had a cycle  .. I don't feel like a woman. I just really want to have my darn cycle. To be healthy. etc. Also feel like I have anxiety and lower back pain badly. And had asthma in middle school. Still feel loss of breath here and there. Sorry for the long and multiple posts. I think the mobile version of this app sucks cuz I cant see every post or thread so yeah. My apologies.

I would approach it with your PCP by saying "Hey, I want to have WLS."

If you need a referral from her in order to see a bariatric surgeon, then I'd say "Hey, I want to have weight loss surgery and I need you to refer me to a bariatric surgeon.  Thanks!"

If you don't need a referral, then just make an appointment with a surgeon.  Next time you see your PCP, tell her "I met with a bariatric surgeon and will be having WLS in a few months."
