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.

      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.
