  1. The problem isn't with my insurance, they're fine with it. It's the actual doctors. They won't see me.
  2. Well, I was thinking maybe if I made an appointment at another place, I wouldn't even tell them I had surgery at all. Heck, I gained weight back and am now a candidate for surgery again LOL. But I think there might be staples or something in from the original surgery, so I would THINK they would be able to tell?
  3. every doctor covered by my insurance (Tricare) within a 200 mile radius won't see me. I've called everyone.
  4. So Frustrated. Had VSG several years ago in Mexico, but struggling. My primary care dr referred me to the local Bariatric surgeon in my area, and they're the only ones covered by my insurance. After I told them I was sleeved in Mexico originally, they refused to see me. I'm sad and frustrated. I really don't want to go to Mexico again for a revision (not that it wasn't a good first experience, just I have a family and kids now, so the cash isn't there to get it like it used to be.) This is just a vent post. I'm just sad about the situation.
