Not an expert, but the "I can stop whenever I want to...just not now" thing is a pretty classic addict line. Addicts, especially young ones, rarely consider themselves to be addicts. Her coke habit may not seem like a problem now, but these things have a nasty habit of spiraling. If I was in your position, I would advise her to be honest with her doctor about her cocaine use. At the very least her doctor can explain what the impacts would be on her post-OP stomach.

I'm expecting my vsg surgery to be performed within the next 6 weeks. At the same time I'm considering changing jobs, which means I would lose my current insurance and replace it with a new one. The job change would probably happen within the next few weeks. Assuming the new plan covers the surgery, does anyone know if I would have to start completely from scratch? I've been chasing this for almost a year now and would be devastated to have to start all over again, but at the same time this job opportunity would be tremendous for my career. Anyone have experience with this?
