Should I get surgery now or wait to see Eid?

[macoza]

I'm scheduled for surgery with a surgeon at Mount Sinai, NYC in 2 weeks. The doctor performs about 50 implants a year. I currently have Healthfirst insurance which covers it. But I'm motivated to switch to Anthem Blue Cross cuz Dr Eid accepts that insurance and I'd want him to perform the surgery ideally.

But for that to happen I need to obtain 'good cause' from the Medicaid office to switch insurance. That will take time. How much time? I don't know. So should I get the surgery now or wait til I get good cause permission to switch insurance will get me surgery with Eid?

Please note that I can't waste time cuz my gf gave me sort of an ultimatum that if I can't please her I'll end up losing her. Her words, not mine.

Since you are asking for a suggestion I wuold say, wait for Eid and leave your GF.
Otherwise look for another high volume surgeon that accepts your current insurance.
50/year is moderate

High volume is very very important (imo).
That said, there are a lot of them.

Maybe you can find one that works with your insurance.

Look up coloplast center of excellence or look into edin vitality. Edin vitality is a group of high volume surgeons.

If not it may be worth the wait.

I can imagine if anything is not perfect (even temporarily), it would be easy to unconsciously transfer some "blame" to your gf because she rushed you to a low volume surgeon.
