Recommended Posts

Well, the Sonogram people have said that my AAA is 3.9. I guess it is shrinking since my doctors report from my MRI. In a couple more weeks it should go back to normal. Guess they can say about anything they want.

I will wait till after 12/12 to get second opinion as I have neuro on 12/11.

Pete, yes I have SSD with A and B, but have never used it. Also thinking about med gap.

Berta, I think you are right...

If your 100% SC'ed, did you know that VA will pay for the uncovered portion of medical bills that medicare doesn't pay, all you gotta do is go to the emergency room of a non-va hospital tell them you are having pain and that you are aware of having an aneurysm, they can do the surgery in that hospital chosen by you and VA picks up after medicare you just gotta submit for it, but it only works if your 100% and you are "too far away" from a VA emergency room.

Hey it's just an idea, if everything else fails! :) LOL!

I knew these dirty rats were covering this up....Now they are telling me, today, that the anurism is 4.8 CM....Now the truth comes out....I knew they were stalling to cover up their mistake...When I complained to the Director, she said that these people are professionals and they say it is a 3.8, then it is a 3.8....

I am really pissed....

Stretch,

Curiosity on my part with the following question. Have you been diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease? The reason I ask is because I have diagnosed PAD/PVD and also have ischemic build up in the abdominal aorta which will most likely lead to an aneurysm, all of which is being monitored by VA vascular specialists on an annual basis at this point. I didn't pick up on whether your PCP had you referred to a VA vascular specialist to monitor you on a regular basis. You have been given some excellent advice by Carlie, JBasser, Berta and others. Please stay on top of this and follow thru outside the VA if you don't feel secure in your treatment at the VA, OK?

Best wishes with all of this my friend!

Stretch,

Please don't continue messing around with this - go get yourself to

an outside doctor, you've got other options besides VA.

JUST DO IT !

You must consider other complicating problems you have like COPD. You do really need outside SECOP's. None of us are doctors here, but I know that surgery is always a big deal. Any surgery is a big deal if they have to put you under.Do the research and be cautious. You can't find two doctors who will agree on anything.
