pjb84 16 Posted March 17, 2014 Hi, I'm planning on moving over the summer. I'm supposed to meet my surgeon at the end of the month. And am hoping and praying I get a date in the next month. I really don't want to start the process all over again. I've been preparing since July 2013. What advise can you give? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravobentley 55 Posted March 17, 2014 it truly is a very personal choice but moving is already a highly stressful thing to do and if you move before surgery thats just putting more stress on your body to me... but if you wait until your moved you can be settled in and less stress than that of surgery and a move.

JanaAZ 16 Posted March 17, 2014 Personally I would rather be closer to my surgeon for ongoing treatment. I would wait until after you move to get the surgery. You shouldn't have to start over...I would assume that the new surgeon will take everything already done for our current surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlondeBanshee 91 Posted March 18, 2014 I had surgery in Mexico, and moved two weeks later. I'd hate for you to spend all this time and energy waiting to get approved only to have to start all over. Maybe you could find a new PCP at the new location have your surgeon write orders for the blood work you'll need in follow up. I think you'll be fine, but trust your instincts! Age and health issues need to be considered. If your surgeon is not worried about it then you should not worry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
