    I know the owner of a local restaurant died July 26th, while getting sleeves in Tijuana. I don't know any details or the surgeon.

    Did you apply for temporary disability after surgery? Did your Mexico doctor fill it out? How long were you off? Were there any problems from disability due to Mexico doctor?

    Disability insurance questions

    saccarmen replied to saccarmen's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    It's temporary disability. In Ca if you can't work temporarily due to illness, injury or surgery, you are temporarily disabled. It's a program run by the unemployment department and as workers we pay into an insurance fund for this purpose.

    I haven't been sleeved yet. I just wanted to tell you that I hope you recover soon. Good luck back at work and finding a new job. I'm an RN in nor cal also. I work at a call center. That may be an option for you if prison nursing isn't something you can do any longer. Kaiser is expecting to hire many advice nurses this year due to Obama care.

    Weight gain at 4 weeks?

    saccarmen replied to chelD's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Maybe it's hormonal? One a month, for a week? sounds like it to me. Keep track for a month or two. And who cares if its coming right back off. Take it easy on yourself. ????

    Liquid Colace?

    saccarmen replied to TexasRed1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    There is a liquid version. Ask the pharmacist. It may be in the children's section. Look for the drug name docusate sodium. Just take the equivalent of an adult dose 100-250 mg once to three times daily.
