Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Moving To Another Country. The Boss Was In My Office Today News Flash Need Help Ok people here is the deal, The boss has consider me for a project in Milwaukee, Wi. ok not Milwaukee is Delafield, Wisconsin not bad, you might think great, a promotion.  I thought the same thing, but I started to think about the Doctor who is doing the follow up of my post operation, thought about the nutrition specialist I am seeing.I really want to go to live back to the States, but how do I manage the Doctor change and psicologist and the whole Enchilada that I have cooked here. In general my wife say not to worry and just let me know when I start packing the bags. Has anyone had any experience like this one, consider that I only have had 4 and half months after the operation. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.....  TIPS And yes even though I have lived in Chicago I am not to wild about the idea of the cold weather in Wisconsin........ Thanks for the Therapy you may provide......... this would be the like the 15th time I move from place to place in my whole life.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | That would be hard to move this early out...however I can tell you there are several surgeons who specialize in RNY.....cuz I had mine done in Milwaukee. Check out the Bariatric Instititute.......there are 4 surgeons. Good luck with your move. And yes it is cold in Wisconsin. Brrrrrrrrr It is 28 and very windy right now.

Weight Loss Method Physician Prescribed Diet/Exercise | I have several types of specialty med needs and am moving across the country shortly. What has worked for ME is to gather the INFO re: the new Doc's offc (phone #, address, etc) and have the existing specialist call the new place and "make a referral" to get me a quick appointment set up for when I arrive. Otherwise it can take months to get in!!! I can't be without my Docs, meds, etc. That's my best recommendation. Where are you right now? XOXO Mya |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Wow ~ congrats on the promotion. Sound like your wife is supportive as well - that's extremely important! It's not like you're gonna move to a desert island somewhere, I'm sure you can do so homework and find a Center of Excellence or some other certifying board to locate a new doctor. I appreciate your apprehension, but I think it's doable if all other aspects come together.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I would say if it something that you would be happy with, go for it. I would also find a doc ahead of time and get things set up before the move. A new start to a new life.
