I'd start with tracking down a Primary Health Provider (regular family doctor) they're pretty good to have since they pretty much cover all the basis and it's better now than when you have a horrible flu and need to find one, right?

See what that person thinks after a good history, ask for a referral to a specific person if you can, and call that person using your primary by name saying they gave you their name specifically.

I think it's the safest route and covers more bases but if you'd like it to go a little faster, yeah, find a dietician, most insurances have websites where you can look up coverage but not many dieticians are covered, then it does become a matter of calling your insurance about "out of network" coverage and they'll probably want a name.

That's the best advice I can give, I've obviously spent too many years doing this!

Best,

I can tell you what I did. I saw my primary doctor and told him I wanted to lose weight but I could not stop eating. He prescribed Adipex for me (an appetite suppresant) and referred me to a nutrition class. It has helped a lot in controlling how much I eat and I have lost 10 lbs in one month. It has also helped me with my ED because I dont need to throw up since I feel good about not over eating. Hope this helps!

OMG: call your insurance company and ask what Primary's they cover in your area. Not that hard. Just moved across country 3 mons ago and was in w/ a new doc in no time! Then once you get that doc, tell them you want a full exam done that you have found that you think you are over eating and go from there. You don't need a dietician or a nutritionist just yet, what you need is to start w/ a PRIMARY!
