Hello all! I've just accepted a job 1500 miles away from where I'm at now! I'm in the process of getting surgery though. I feel like if I don't do the surgery now I won't have the chance later. I was almost through the process in 2010 and lost my health insurance that covered it. Since then I haven't had health insurance that will cover bariatrics....until now! So I plan on getting it done ASAP. It will probably be May or early June. I'm moving mid June. Anyone had a similar situation? Am I crazy for doing all of this at the same time? Yes....I know...I am crazy. I plan to get the surgery done and go to my first follow up appointment then move and find a surgeon where I'm moving to to complete my follow up. Has anyone had problems finding a different surgeon to do their follow ups? Since it's the sleeve the follow ups won't be as intensive as the band. Need some advise.

Relax. It shouldn't be a big deal. Just watch the lifting during the move. (as in NONE). Find a new PCP and do the follow-ups there. Good luck.
