It is going to take 2-3 weeks to negotiate the costs with insurance. I think it is based on a sliding scale of how many conditions you have (pure weight loss versus full on diabetus). I will let you know how it shakes out for me--I think we are in a similar boat health wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacen123 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 You all should just get a bout of complicated diverticulitis. With two rounds of hospital visits, some days of liquid diets, and some other complications, i’ve lost over 30 pounds since March. Or you could do it healthily in a not horrifying way.

I lost 2lbs too. Pro move—I don’t think I pooped all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Sooo...FYI I did not go in for treatment for strep. I did it the old fashioned grandpas cough syrup booze remedy. Well, I ended up with a bacterial abscess in my throat. The pain was pretty intense--I decided to go in to the doctor's office when it felt like my whole left side of my face hurt--including all of the teeth on the left side of my face felt like they all had cavities. I had to "sleep" with ice packs all the way down the side of my face to dull the pain. Anywho, doctor said the abscess was causing inflammation causing the pain and I was lucky I didn't have to go to the ER and have my throat abscess drained--I was told that was horrible. Moral of the story-I lost 10 lbs this week due to the abscess on a ice cream diet. Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Oh crap. I've heard the horror story about someone who had to get a throat access lanced. It almost killed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Shit, really sorry to hear that, man. Glad you avoided getting that abscess drained, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I am on a pretty strong antibiotic which is now tearing up my gi lining resulting in my ass feeling like it is on fire all day. The doctor's feedback--drink more milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
