Freaking Out About Lovenox -- Anyone Else Have To Do This? Self-Injections?



Recommended Posts

Mine was 15 copay. I have the high risk pool insurance in ohio they dont cover the surgery' date=' but a lot of the tests and stuff they do.

Every state has a high risk pool insurance thorough the new healthcare plan. Basically it is a guaranteed coverage for people with pre existing conditions, or who can't get insured now.

Before getting it we had to go to er and couldn't pay our bill need to use tax payer dollars.

Now.we can visit our pcp, urgent care, or specialists, and we only pay 160 per month per person. My wife has already hit her max out of pocket, she has a lot more medical issues.[/quote']

I was going to get that after I was denied last year for preexisting BUT after my brother passed and haven't had steady income I can't pay it lol

Hopefully by 2014 I'll have insurance through an employer but If for some awful reason I don't then at least I'll be able to get it from somewhere.

I believe in 2014 all carriers will not be allowed to turn people down.

I think having everyone covered and taking responsibility for health like they do car insurance is a good idea because people without coverage usually cost 400% or more for non life threatening things and they can't pay it, so it adds to increasing costs for everyone.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
