I went to the CenTex group meeting on Sunday. I am 118 lbs overweight, BMI 41.25… and I’m looking to have RNY gastric bypass surgery.
My insurance does cover it, so I went to my primary care physician on Friday to beg for a referral. He did not know much about the procedure, and wanted to do some research and possibly refer me to an Endocrinologist. (first he said he wanted me to do the liquid diet, but after talking to him about it, he changed his mind)
He just called me back and said that he’s referring me to Dr. Moore at the old Austin Diagnostic Clinic (now North Austin Medical Center). So as soon as the referral gets approved, I’m gonna make an appointment. And you can bet that when I go this time, I’m going to take a huge packet of information with me.
