I am actually changing jobs in 3 days: I got hired at Medical Mutual of Ohio and I know they cover bariatric surgery for their employees up to $20k. I've done almost everything they require even though I don't have their medical insurance coverage until April 1st.

My question is: when meeting with the surgeons and doing other tests and requirements, are they usually pretty flexible with the days they can make appointments? I have off on the weekends and cannot make appointments during the week unless they are in the evening. I don't get paid time off until I've been with MMO for 3 months (which is fine because I was aiming for surgery in July). This is the part that has me nervous because if they only have 9-5 hours, Monday thru Friday I'm screwed. I know each place is different. I just want reassurance that I can still make this surgery happen.

Thanks for any information!

My office was pretty flexible with appointments bit I dont think they had evening hours. Maybe if u tell your new job u have medical appointments they will let u have time off. The appointments dont last more than an hour and theres really not too many of them

Okay that helps. I just know some doctors appointments really take a long time. Thank you!

I think the longest I was ever in was a hour except with all the tests like endoscopy, xray etc
