Help my surgery might not happen!!!

Well the thing is we have been wanting to move to arizona and now if he get's this new job out there then i won't get my surgery. Because one we won't have health insurance. I don't know what to do. i only have 2 visit's left and 3 clearance's. I'm wondering if my dr might fudge and say that he has already seen me. I don't know what to do. I'm scared!!!! That this won't happen for me.  What to do?????? Julie

You can explain to the dr..Maybe he would do it for you. Any chance you can put the move off for a couple months. Gosh girl that sucks big time. What does your hubby say about it?

well he said to try and talk to the dr about it and see if he will work with me on this. he want's me to have this but he's not sure if the new employer will work with him. who knows i have an appointment  with the head shrink on monday so i'll already be there and i'm gonna try and work with them and see what will happen. oh and btw thanks for answering my post. no one else did. i needed some advice, but i guess no one had any to give.  julie

Never hurts to ask. I sure hope he will work you. That would just break my heart to get that far then it all fall apart. Good luck Monday and please let me know what you find out.

i will surely let you know when i find out. it's just been so hard and a very long road to go. if i have to i will make dh wait till i'm done. and he can then take the job. i don't want to miss out on this because of a job. i guess i'm just feeling a little down right now. well i'll let you know what happen's. i will post soon as i know something on monday. later, julie

Julie, Good luck on Monday, I certainly hope that the doctor wll work with you on this.  How soon is the move supposed to take place?  maybe you will still have time to get everything done.  Hang in there and I am praying for you.  Please let us all know what happens on Monday and remember we are all here for you if you need to talk.  Have a great weekend.

This IS going to be rough... Dr's are going to be afraid you wont get the proper follow up care if you have the surgery and move.. Here I am 2 years out and had to have surgery to fill up the space left from removing some of my intestines on the first one. The nutrisonists appointments are valuable to get ideas and help thru the vitamins and minerals needed to survive after the surgery.. I wish you could have the surgery but I want for you to be assured of the follow up... your Drs will want to be assure of those future plans too. They wont want to do the surgery and let you leave... that would make them irresponsible, and open to lawsuit... Linda Kay

Thank you all for your thought's and i do have a dr in mind out there in arizona just need to make the call.  Julie

Also, you should check with the Dr you are wanting to go to in Arizonia. If he has dealt with people having weight loss surgery. And I work at St. V's Indy and a little FYI alot of other insurance companies will call this a pre existing condition if you have the surgery here and have the follow up there if you do not take your current medical insurance with you. So if your husbands job is a new one and the insurance will be new then you should make sure that pre existing things are covered. Sorry to be negative I am only trying to give you a heads up.. Good Luck

Unfortunately, your doctor can't "fudge" things.  Every time you see the doctor, he submits a claim to the insurance company.  So if the doctor tries to say he's seen you more than he actually has, the insurance company will know he's lying.  And that's insurance fraud, and he can be prosecuted and jailed for it!
