Hi Nicole, I grew up in Upton. Small world. I would contact your Health Ins for a list of PCPs and find one to support your needs. Have you been through the Diet hoops that most of US have done all our lives??? Have you been to a Nutritionist before? For most Ins companies to cover the cost of surgery, they need documentation for 6months of Doctor supervised Weight Loss Attempts. Once you're excpeted in a WLS program, they will be sending you to both support group meetings and meetings with a Nutritionist. At BayState Medical I had to go every 3 months for a year Post-Op
