[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone just give me the basics-can I go to an online doctor? Do they take insurance? How much does everything cost? I am fat, but don't want to deal with my primary care doctor.[/quote] Go to a weight loss doctor / bariatric surgeon - I see Inova Weight Loss. Both the appointment and the meds are covered by insurance. It took months and months to get that first appointment, so in the meanwhile I signed up with an online service that connects you with a prescribing doctor (I used Calibrate, no idea if they are still in business). The service itself was about $1200 for the year and they prescribed brand-name meds that were covered by insurance. My GP was entirely unsupportive even though I had a BMI of 32, left arm pain, and joint issues. I've also had an unrelated doctor (OB GYN) berate me for taking the meds. There's a lot of ignorance and judgment out there, I don't blame you for not wanting to bother with your GP.[/quote]
