I think I found my surgeon!

I’ve been looking at different surgeons for weeks and I think I found just the right one today. Answers my questions, cites research, approachable. She also told me that there are a number of other comorbidities beyond the usual that would qualify me for insurance. Even if insurance doesn’t pay for this, I’m getting it done, even if I have to beg, borrow and steal.

Feeling comfortable with your surgeon is extremely important and cannot be emphasized enough. I ended up changing surgeons when I was pretty far along in the process because his staff was obnoxious and I felt that he talked at me, rather than to and with me. The second surgeon is wonderful and her staff are fantastic. The program at Christiana Care in Delaware is comprehensive and fantastic. They do a really thorough and complete workup .... they want you to have the safest and best chances for success.
