Question:
Anyone have a letter from your pcp that you used for panniculectomy ins. approval?

I am trying to get some examples of letters that have been written by other primary care doctors when their post op patients are in need of a panniculectomy. My doctor is extremely supportive but mine would be the first letter she has written. Please help out if you can and email me at [email protected] I am extremely grateful for any help. My reconstructive surgeon has submitted the paperwork but I got a letter today suggesting that a letter and documentation from her could be useful. I am hopefully having this procedure in the next few months. I am not at goal but my pannus is hanging very low and causing me pain in my thighs. I wish you well in your journey. {Ann in TX}    — Ann B. (posted on April 28, 2004)
