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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
