  1. Please please go see your family dr...I had something similar on and off and 2 weeks ago I had a TIA (mini stroke)...even if it turns out to be nothing or something very minor don't play around with it

    UHC Choice Plus or Aetna Choice POS II??

    I no longer have Aetna my husbands union contract went with with BCBS and I hate it but..Aetna was great I had to weight in 6 consecutive months before surgery I hear now mow insurance company's have gone down to 3 moths..in that 6 moths I had to either lose 10lbs or stop smoking I gained 20 but did quit smoking..the usual pre-op test pulmonary..stress test and a shrink...2 years of documented weight from my GP basically just had to have my weight on my chart at some point for 2 years...they approved me for surgery 7 days after it was submitted..my BMI was exactly 40 of it had been under then I had to prove 1 co-morbidity which I did have high bp..the one thing I really liked abt Aetna was that u can down load an app or go online and see everything how much you've paid toward ur deductible mine was $150 and how much you paid towards total pay out for the year...I ended up paying $50 for my surgery because all my requirements were such a low pay out...my ex husband has the UHC plan and so my kids are covered under his as primary and this co-payments were double and would barely cover anything..his was Rail road insurance

    mirena anyone?

    I love mine I've had it for 2 years now...my tubes were tied after my 3 daughter so I'm not using it for bc...but to manage my insane periods..I don't even have one now!!..I think the worst part was having it places while on my period cause they were so heavy..just totally grossed me out..but I would do it again in a heartbeat

    Somebody want to explain this too me?

    I'm the same..stuff I shouldn't eat and is usually a slider for everyone else gets stuck every time..to me it's a good thing it's not worth the pain..steak and other meat no problems getting down and staying
