Help with letters
I’ve finished all my pre-surg health questions, and need to go with the PCP’s
referral in-hand for my first appt. Now, I’m not even sure he’s going to give it
to me, but if and when he does, it there anything specific the letter needs to
say other then “I’m referring Dawn for surgery because she’s fat” ; ) you get my
drift! I’m actually pretty discouraged at this time because I have NO
documented doctors visits for anything wt related, I have NO official weight
loss programs under my belt, and I don’t seem to have any comorbs. I’m falling
back on, get this, the TRUTH about why I have no doctors visits previously. I’ve
lived with back and leg pain for years and why SHOULD I go to the dr when all
they’ll say is “your overweight”. And I’m saying, for comorbs, that I have knee
pain, and back pain (both true but undocumented) and that I have depression
issues related to self esteem (also true). Should I also see if my shrink can
write me a letter? Although she may not approve of the surgery either. What’s
wrong with these people! Yep, sign me frustrated tonight. I wanna get this thing
rolling and keep running into road blocks. But yes, I WILL keep at it until I
get what I want.
Advise? Thanks everyone!
Dawn
