Ok...... Too bad u can't reschedule during time u had off from work already. Clearly communicate w surgeon office the no more rescheduling can be done due to time runnin out..... Also your follow ups can be covered under state insurance if it comes down to that... Good luck!

Why is state insurance and how would I get info on that?

My surgery was Wednesday morning at 10:30 and it is now midnight on Thursday night. The pain and weakness has been much better today. The nursing staff has been incredible. I have never been through major surgery so had no idea what to expect. But this board has been super helpful! They tell me I should go home tomorrow around 4pm which I am pretty nervous about just because the safety net of the nurses is nice :) prayers too everyone in pre and post op. we are stronger than we give ourselves credit for.

God bless you! So happy you made it thru! Thankful for the prayers..... The 26th...... So close....:-/

Well once u lose ur job immediately go online to dept of social services or health and human services, 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!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
