I didn't experience that pre-OP, but it did happen to me years before. I contacted my physician. He gave me medication to stop my period (partly so that he could do a pap smear to make sure everything was OK). My period stopped within 12 hours. The pap smear was normal.
My advice: contact your primary care physician immediately.
Hi,
The doctor's office did give me the name of a personal loan company (Prosper) - they don't do care credit. But we weren't considering that anyway as the interest rate is so high. I think we are going to cash in a retirement annuity account. If necessary we may go with either Light Stream or So Fi for a loan - they seem to keep showing up on top of "best of" lists.

Hello Lara! Some of the doctors offices work with programs that can help you with a payment plan. Hopefully the doctor you chose will. Best of luck and look forward to your updates.
Welcome back! Personal trainers are so expensive. I don't know how anyone can afford $300 plus a week! Did your doctor have a partner at his practice or do you remember the name of the dietitian there? I was thinking that maybe you could locate a staff member or partner who could provide you with the diet plan and other information you might need. Good luck with everything!

Hello Lamont! Great to see you back. You started a nursing career at the age of 16? I am so in awe of you. And now law school? I need half of your ambition and I would consider myself successful! I can soooooo relate to that head hunger! Hopefully you can reconnect with your surgeon somehow? Maybe the hospital where you had your surgery has some information on how you can find him?
Hi Lara! Glad to see you say hello and wishing you well on your weight loss journey!
