Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by ZBLOCKHEAD: Do you need to use one of them there CPAPS?
For sleep apnea. I gotta use one, keeps me from snoring. I didn’t realize that I had a severe case of sleep apnea until I took a sleep test.
Its kinda weird at first, but you get used to it after a while, it seems to help me sleep better. And that’s sticking pretty close to science fact.
(no more space aliens, I promise. Well, for a while, anyway) Although sleep apnea can cause some strange feelings and beliefs during one of those periods when breathing has stopped.

You can control or eliminate sleep apnea if you lose weight. There is also a surgical procedure that can be done to help with symptoms of sleep apnea. Get a referral to an ear, nose and throat doctor.

Question by Erika G: Is there an organization that can set up a payment plan for bariatric surgery? (for weightloss)?
I am in desperate need of bariatric surgery for weightloss but my insurance asks that I begin seeing a doctor to monitor my weight for a whole year. However, I gained over 50 lbs. from last year and I am very afraid that I will gain more weight from here until my insurance will cover it. I am willing to pay for it myself, if there is any way of getting a payment plan of any kind. I am running out of options and meanwhile I am gaining more and more weight. Is there any type of organization that helps people in my situation who need to lose weight NOW! I am a 30 year old female and I weigh 350 lbs. I am suffering from high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythm, sleep apnea and asthma. Exercise is excrutiating for me and I have failed at dieting time and time again. HELP!

Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass /lap band surgery / stomach stapling and gastrectomy have become very common and very safe now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Question by kim.york: Are there any lawyers out there??
I am trying to find one who will file a suit against a doctor’s office who let their nurse give information over the phone about:my sleep study which is a “Medical procedure” and it got me fired from my job and cost me my benefits,my treatments for sleep apnea,lupus &fibromyalgia.And I also lost my side jobs and my wedding plans.I am trying to get unemployment until I find another job and I am flat broke until they deny/approve it which I know the employer will fight it! SO now the doc got away w/not only violating the HIPPA ACT but also violated my own written requests on the HIIPPA Act that I added stating that NOBODY except my fiance’ get information re:my info!!So please any help would be great!!The fla bar referal is NO HELP!! Thank you!!
I have read the HIPPA Act all the way thru including all the subsections,however they released information to my boss who is not the insurer and the information he was given was not vital to any claims or for any health related information that was needed for public health reasons,he just invasivly went behind my back to call my doctor to get info to use to fire me because I had filed a sexual harassment claim against a co-worker and was a “risk”to his department.The EEOC is handling that,I have a lawyer who is interested in taking my case he called me today,but until we sign a contract the more info I get the better.Yahoo answers are both w/w and local so If it helps I am going for it..Thannk you!
