i need links and supporting documentation for a friend who's DR is not very knowledgeable of the RNY  says she does not qualify but clearly does...I'm looking for links or numbers to fwd to her so she can take to her Dr
I wake up every day with the realization that this is it, that there's only one shot at this life and I can either enjoy the ride and live it to its fullest and to my highest potential or I can stay the way I am.

I am just beginning my journey, but as far as I can tell the Doctor shouldn't be deciding if she qualifies anyways, that is up to the regisrty, assessment centre, and surgeon! Tell your friend to get her Dr to print the form off the web site, fill it in and fax it all while she is there, so it dosent get misplaced! Tell her not to take no for an answer! It's her life and here future! 

Wish your friend luck,

 You can also have a clinic/ER doc or nurse practioner refer you.  State that your family doctors "personal bias" is preventing you from getting a referal.

I think she needs a new doctor instead.  Or the NP like the lady above me suggested.
