It All Fell Apart Today... Surgeon Left Practice!

[Pinky Green 260]

Thank you everyone.

The next closest hospital for me would be in Dallas. Doing the 6 month stuff with a dr so far away seems overwhelming to me right now. I have a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old, and being gone anytime if difficult.

If they don't approve this surgeon and/or if this surgeon won't accept being in network (he doesn't have to agree to accept that amt) than ill have to think about my next step.

I'm trying to focus on the statement that all things happen for a reason and maybe I'm not ready yet. I haven't been able to focus on a diet in this 6 months and I've been struggling with binging.

Most insurance will accept if you do the 6 month NUT in your home town - I've heard of them accepting medifast or with a nutritionist in your home town. You could do the preliminary required testing in OK City and have the surgery with a physician in Dallas. They could have you do the follow-ups with your PCP in Oklahoma City.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you. My heart goes out to you, as I am just now starting the process. I just got enrolled into the Bariatric Program thru my insurance, I haven't been contacted by the Nurse who will be in charge of my case so I don't even know what to expect yet but I know that would be a hard thing to hear. I do however believe that everything happens for a reason and maybe he wasn't the surgeon that God had planned for you. I will keep you in my prayers and I hope you get thru this with no other hiccups.

I realized I never updated. I went to Weight Wise and if I can get 15 more pounds off I should be having my surgery the first week of April. I love my new dr and truly feel now it fell apart for a reason earlier. Thank you for your support.
