hey my pain is on my right side (not the drain side) and is under my rib cage in one spot stubbing to the point I am having trouble breathing but hurts only when I walk and breathe

If you are having problems breathing, that's an issue that a doctor needs to know about

No but I had 4 after mine came to 65 but I have really good insurance one was a pain med that I've never used nor needed liquid form one was for my bowels one was for indigestion and heartburn which I don't have but I take it as a preventive and nausea Patches which I don't use cuz I don't have the issue

I have three scripts liquid Tylenol with Codeine $15, Lovenox $15, and liquid Prilosec (couldn't find this one and it was just a precaution).

I have a pill form of Prilosec I have to take nightly for 2 months. I also have a stomach emptying/nausea pill I have to take twice daily for one more week until it's gone. And OTC liquid Tylenol I bought for pain.

I was given a prescription for Lovenox, which was going to cost me $350. I applied for Extra Help from Medicare, was approved after 2-3 weeks, and now the price to me is $6.

      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.
