Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Need opinions..I have a brand new *used two nights* CPAP machine..My insurance paid there part and I have to pay the remaining $600....Here are my questions.... Do most insurances not cover the CPAP's 100% and would it be cheesy to try to sell it to someone else who like me their insurance doesnt cover the whole machine.... Sounds good to me but my brain is fried... ALSO MY BROTHER IN LAW IS IN REAL NEED OF SOME PRAYERS... My 36 year old brother in law had TWO massive heart attacks Friday night. We have been at the hospital in CCU all weekend. Things are looking better but the artery that was blocked was the main coronary artery *which supplies 60% of the oxygen to the heart* and they dont know how much damage he is gonna have to his heart from the oxygen loss...All weekend he has been on TOTAL ventilators and Heart pumping machines...Today they were able to take him off the heart pumping machine and HOPEFULLY the ventilator will be able to come out tonight. We are waiting for the results for the echogram to see what the damage was to his heart....All prayers are GREATLY needed...Thanks His name is Todd ... Also, while we were there the people next to us had their mother in icu and she has been there for a month now from a bowel obstruction after WLS....it burst...is bowel obstruction commen?? what are the symptoms/? IM SCARED...I will be 4 weeks post tomorrow... Thanks Crystal 365/331/175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Crystal, my prayers are with you and your family...I have only heard of one person that was hospitalized with bowel obstruction and the only difference that I know of is that she had the duodenal switch. Now, I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but she is fine now. She was about 9 months out when this happened. Again, my prayers and best wishes are with you.
