Back story-
I chose a surgeon that was 2 hours away from me. They said Insurence would be worked out, but it's been such a hassle for the last 2 years. I last saw him in May, to get saline taken out do to pregnancy (8 months preg) now that I've had baby and am 6 months PP baby, I'm ready to go to a new surgeon to get a fill again. But I want a new surgeon and one closer to me. What should I expect from visiting a new doctor? Do I need to get all my records? Will doctors need to talk? Help please!
