Well, I took the advice of Sandy & Terri on the CenTex support group list… and called Dr. Marietta’s office (he’s my PCP). I asked if he would please switch my referral from Dr. Moore to Dr. Scumpia. He said, “yes”! 
YAHOO!
So here’s my latest concern… I logged onto www.obesityhelp.com last night and was searching for bariatric surgeons and insurance information. I saw that other people have really had a hard time with the insurance company I have. Apparently, even though they cover the surgery, you have to give them a lot of proof that you’ve done everything you could… i.e., 2 years of dr. supervised diets. Well, my doctor always told me to eat right and exercise… he never prescribed diet pills or anything like that. Of course, I’ve done everything I could think of (Atkins, Weight Watchers, Cabbage diet, grapefruit diet, etc.) I’m scared!
Oh, I also found out that if/when I do get approved for the surgery, I’ll have to go to Houston (but not Dr. Ferrari, he’s not on my plan). The San Antonio doctors aren’t on my plan either.
