Oh my lord, I think the post is under the fab feb post-op thread....my surgeon got crazy and decided he would make my bowels wake up although I assured him if he left me the hell alone by the next morning I would be just dandy...he would have none of it! 2 suppositories and 2 enemas later with my behind on fire and me in tears he finally agreed to leave it be...and guess what?!?!? The next day things were fine and dandy....my butt will never be the same!!!! I was so mad...if he'd just listened.....

Well once u lose ur job immediately go online to dept of social services or health and human services' date=' depending on your state and apply for insurance. You can do this the same day. Put unemployed due to layoff. No income and do not include your spouse if u have one. Include children if you have them and anyone living in home w you as a resident. Also, u need to include recent surgery requiring frequent follow ups affecting your quality of life.... Also throw in any other health conditions. Get a letter from your surgeon and any other dr u have explaining high need for quality of life and best survival post op.....

I use to work for state healthcare.....

Good luck!

About the state insurance, what if I live with my parents will I still be able to get that insurance? Do I have to list them as living in the house.

Ok 2 weeks and 3 day post band to bypass with the worst ever muscle and nerve pain I have ever known (almost broke down and cried it is so bad)...why wasn't I told this would happen?

I have resorted to sleeping in a recliner chair because I can't get in and out of bed due to the agonizing pain... Received lidocaine injections on my post op visit only to have a few hours of relief...WTF?!! My husband took me to a medical supply store today to get an abdominal binder in hopes that it will help, so far minimal relief.

This the only thing keeping me from getting back to my normalcy. I will be calling my surgeons office on Monday they must give me something for this Tylenol/Lortab don't do a damn thing....so far I only know of 2 of you that have this!

No, have them sign a letter saying you stay with them and pay __ towards ur cost of living there. Do not list them as part of your household, since they aren't dependents. Make sure u apply for unemployment when eligible, but apply for health insurance first and list unemployed, no income due to layoff...

Btb yes they cut a muscle and some nerves and then stitch it back together, muscle or nerve causes unbearable pain because of the pulling and healing. Friends that have had cesearn sections have told me the same.....OUCH no pain meds work!

I know that c-section pain. I had two-one emergency. One day really soon you will wake up and zip- pain is gone. Meditating and relaxing helped me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
