Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Hi everyone, I have a consultation with Dr. Herron on May 3rd but am becoming anxious about the hospital stay at Mt. Sinai. At this stage, I am still trying to determine whether or not I'll be able to have the surgery due to finances. I am on medicare. Although the office assured me that Dr. Herron does accept Medicare, it doesn't pay well and leaves a lot unpaid. I will need to find a way to meet those bills. What really concerns me, however, are the comments people are making about the nursing care they have, or it seems, haven't received while staying at the hospital. I am not in the position to be able to afford a private duty nurse or companion. Since I am travelling into NYC from NJ, my family will not be able to be with me much, so I will be alone a great deal of the time. I am I going to find myself in a terrible situation? I have options open to me to have the RNY procedure, but I don't want to go that route. I don't think I could live with it, even facing my current health situation. This is very distressing to me. I'm trying to remain positive and keep the faith, but it is hard. Regards, /cherie63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
