How long till another surgery

[MightyBigBob 1]

I am about 2 months away from surgery because of all the insurance hoops that I have to jump through so my questions is... since I have met my deductible & out of pocket how long do I have to wait to have a different surgery. I am wanting to do a vasectomy can I get it done while off the two weeks for my bypass surgery or do I have to wait longer. I really don’t have a lot of vacation time to take off & with my work schedule I would have to take off for the vasectomy as well.

That's something only your doctors can really answer. When I had my plastics I was able to have parathyroid surgery two weeks later. But I wasn't on severe calorie restriction at the time as you will be. This is quite major surgery and the recovery can be difficult, but a vasectomy is one of the most simple procedures so perhaps it might be Okay, especially if you are willing to do it without general anesthesia

Hell it's possible they can do this for you while you are under for the bypass. Ask the question!
