RE: ___________________ (Patient Name)
DOB:
Dear Drs. Pham & Rutkoski,
I am referring my patient ___________________________ to you for consideration of weight loss surgery for
severe obesity. The patient has been struggling with obesity for greater than 5 years. His/Her attempts at weight
loss while under my supervision have not yield long-term success despite numerous counseling attempts at
his/her office visits.
The patient’s history includes co-morbidities of _________________________________
_______________________________ (i.e. CAD, HTN, DM, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, obesity related
hyperventilation.) There is no significant liver kidney, or gastrointestinal disease present; there is no treatable
metabolic cause for obesity such as adrenal or thyroid disorder. TSH levels are normal upon testing. Current
medications are as follows:
______________________________________________________________________________

There is no history of ongoing alcohol or drug abuse.
The patient weighs _______ pounds and measures _______ in height. The patient is clear to proceed with
bariatric surgery from a cardiac and/or pulmonary standpoint. The remainder of the physical exam is

I believe the patient is a good candidate for surgery and would benefit from significant weight loss. I would be

Sincerely,
Sample McSampleton
