Other - Health - September 2006

My son has debilitating diseases, disorders, and other risk factors due to his morbid obesity. This includes extremely high-blood pressure that could give him a stroke and extremely high cholesterol. He needs to have Gastric-Bypass surgery. However, his insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) will not cover the surgery which I think is stupid because it would greatly reduce his health risks. Other insurance agencies I have checked with also will not cover the surgery. However, when I do research on Bariatric surgery, I always see a section that mentions Insurance Agencies that helped pay for it. He has tried to lose weight and to no avail. His life is in danger and heart attacks run on both sides of his family. How could he pay for this? Please help.

I am a 22 year old female that is 5"8 120 (with 2 kids) and I have no medical problems other then monthly migraines.. I have been talking pepto on and off for a week now and the pain is almost everytime I eat and it feels almost like acid indigestion and I am wanting to throw up but I am unable to. Other then that what should I do? Keep in mind I have No health insurance. The pain doesn't feel any better when I lay down either alothough placing an ice pack on it is helping some... So what else could I try other then pepto???

amount of ear wax. The dr said some people just do that but its only one ear and I think there has to be something we can do or that causes it. I clean it with peroxide once a week and sometimes little chunks of wax bubble out (sorry, ew) and I clean them every day with q tips. Anyone else have this prob and have any ideas on why?

I get soars on my tongue and on the inside of my cheeks. Sometimes I will get the soars on both the inside cheeks and tongue at the same time and they will usually last for 2 weeks and start from being small then get big. Then they go away, and they come back, most usually they come back in a month.
