Question:
I'm so disapointed, I think I got put off. Some advice please?

I had an appt with WLS yesterday and today appt with my PCP, nurse practitioner. I asked about letter of referral needed for insurance purposes and she said we would do one thing at a time, and ask the surgeon to send them a letter telling them what he needed the letter to state. I told her that he gave me a letter to give them, she paused and say ok let's just do this first. Which was schedule me for a ct scan and get a renal panel. My feet swells up a lot. When the results come back and I go back I just know it's gonna take them a year to get the letter back and that's if the don't refuse ;(. I.m thinking about mailing them the information, so they will have a chance to look it over before I go back or fax it over.    — deniece M. (posted on October 29, 2002)

Call your Dr. and leave a message regarding the letter and usually you will get to speak with the nurse. Explain to her exactly what you need and then give it one week. At that point call again, if nothing gets done, find another Dr.
