I had my first visit with my PCP (primary care provider) today. He acted like just a BMI of 47-48 isn't enough for him to sign my required release. I'm so worried. He filled out the paperwork for my first months visit, and the recommendation paper but he left the little box blank that asks if I am a good candidate for the surgery. I didnt think to check before I left and only saw it once I was home. I'm scared this won't work out! I had just started seeing this doctor recently since I hadn't been seen since right after my last child was born.

~~~My timeline~~~
