My last doppler was also incorrectly done so it showed negative for venous leak. I was about to have it redone, but I’m afraid Sharp might get it wrong again. Then Ill be stuck in this process all over again for months.
I’m only 25 so my life has been on halt. Im tired of jumping through this snail-paced medical machine. I’m stuck with whatever surgeon they give me, and if they fuck up (reduced size, infection, and so on) I’m finished and will become a buddhist monk. Please let me know if there is a surgeon in the Sharp system.

Your employer might have more than one plan available for 2024 and this is the time of year you can switch plans for 2024 (open enrollment). You might want to check and see what will be offered in 2024 andalso ask that UCSD be added as a provider to your Insurance Network. Many times for special situations you can force the insurance carrier to treat an out of network provider as a network provider and get benefits paid by insurance.
Good Luck
