I approached my PCP for a surgery referral, she is supportive but

referred me to an obesity clinic instead. She will refer for surgery but wanted me to talk with these people first (of course, this is NOT covered by my insurance while the actual surgery IS). Is this normal? The waiting period for an appointment is 3 months--this could go on forever! I have already made my first appointment with a surgeon but I'm afraid that my health will continue to deteriorate while waiting! Any words or encouragement?!?!?!?!
