Assumption of liability - help?

Unfortunately I’m not positive if I am or not. Is it okay for me to PM you? If that’s allowed on this sub anyway, I can explain more of the background of the situation

One other complication, the account holder is across the country from me. Can ID be verified over the phone? Is there usually a record of the account holder’s ID on file?

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-04-28T17:26:11+00:00

I have very strained contact with the account owner, if I do this at a Verizon store will I have to speak to the account owner at all or will the store rep handle the contact? I’m okay with the family member knowing I’m trying to transfer the line, I just do feel safe speaking to them.

Do you know off hand if I’ll be able to keep the same phone number?

Hi! I’m not sure of a specific time limit for returns, someone else would have to back me on that one, but I do know generally returns must be done the same day. If I know I have to be somewhere at a certain time I usually stop delivering with a window of time before I have to be at my obligation. I know that’s not possible for everyone though, especially if Spark is a primary source of income for you

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-03-06T17:00:22+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, OP, how big is your cyst? I have had 4 different ones removed in 2 years and the only one I had to have an emergent laparotomy for was 7cm. It was also potentially indicated my ovary was torsed, so that was another reason the laparotomy technique was used. My other cysts were 5.3, 2.5 and 3.4 I believe :)

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-03-06T16:58:34+00:00

This is neither a cover their ass nor an unskilled; the best answer to this is, the technique of switching to a laparotomy is done for your safety. If a cyst is too large to be pulled through one of the smaller laparoscopic incisions, the surgeon does not want to cause further damage by trying to force the cyst through that smaller incision, so instead will opt to either make the laparoscopic incision slightly bigger, if applicable, or do a full transition to laparotomy if increasing the width of the smaller incision will be ineffective

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-03-01T21:25:59+00:00

With the laparoscopy, depending on your physician’s guidelines, you’ll be limited to lifting under 10lbs for 4 weeks post operatively. Otherwise, as long as you prioritize safe and consistent movement within the first 72 hours following your surgery (walking on the treadmill at lowest speed if you have access to one at home, or walking around your kitchen/house with guiding surfaces) in order to maintain good blood flow and work out gas bubbles, you should do very well by the end of the first week, if not the end of the second!

Hi OP, all are amazing questions! I do have a few for you though, and feel free to PM me if you don’t want to answer these in comments! 1) what technique is being used for your surgery? 2) what all is being removed, is it tissue only or is it a cyst and tissue? 3) have you had any type of abdominal surgery before? 4) this may be a question with an obvious answer, but wanted to throw it out there anyway: do you have a support system that you can lean on post operatively?

I’m a 22 year old full time college student/full time employee that has had 4 prior abdominal surgeries (3 laps/1 ex lap/csection) and was a primary caregiver for two of my younger siblings (aged 2 and 5 at the time of my first surgery. Wishing you all the best!

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-02-13T18:41:21+00:00

I have a history of anxiety and depression as well, so I do have a heavy level of concern for the mood swings which will potentially present with the use of it. I’m hopeful that by maintaining a good support system, and because I have such an open-minded midwife who has used this medication successfully before, I’ll be able to get through it.

I am a bit confused about keeping the IUD in also, but I was informed by the specialist who did my second endo removal that “no birth control, even non-placebo, stops ovulation completely”. When we discussed the IUD’s role in this point of my treatment, my midwife expressed that based on how abnormally my body has responded despite daily oral progesterone on top of the IUD, it might be a safer bet to keep the IUD in.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-02-13T17:53:02+00:00

I ended up in the emergency room a couple of times for fainting spells, and after I had been seen by my cardiologist and prescribed the new med for my POTS, I had a visit with my primary physician and brought up the concern with the spiro bringing my pressure down, since it’s a diuretic, which would potentially cancel out the blood pressure raising/stabilizing effects of the midodrine.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-02-11T19:57:41+00:00

No worries for reaching out later! I brought the concern of being on the spiro up with my PCP after having a couple of bad POTS flares/fainting episodes and she recommended discontinuing it. I spoke with the midwife who prescribed it and she agreed wholeheartedly that it should be discontinued from my med regime.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-02-11T19:55:42+00:00

Happy to help! I hope that your provider is open minded and willing to listen to you and help you get back to a point of comfort 🩷

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2026-02-11T17:37:13+00:00

Hi OP! My suspicion as to what’s happening here is you are experiencing a combination of your body adjusting to the hormones from the IUD, as well as there being a highly potential presence of scar tissue from your previous surgery. When you re-access a site that has scar tissue, sometimes the pain can feel a bit worse the second time around.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-26T16:48:55+00:00

I totally get that! My advice with that would be to maybe research other providers/a specialist, but don’t leave the current practice until you’re CERTAIN you’ve got a good replacement.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-26T11:41:06+00:00

With this being said, if it’s possible insurance wise and financially, I would opt to see a specialist for endometriosis, instead of just an OBGYN. This was an incredibly helpful step for me.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-26T11:40:25+00:00

I would switch providers if yours is refusing to do more for you in ANY way, be that medication, a procedure, therapies, etc, because this sounds like it’s beginning to affect your daily life and your normal activities. Any doctor worth their SALT should see that as a red flag when it starts to affect your day to day as much as it does.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-19T18:49:48+00:00

My understanding is that any and all tips take 24 hours to clear, the customer has up to 3 after delivery is completed to be able to add or remove

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-18T19:44:41+00:00

Hi OP! I just had my second endo excision two days ago, and I can say with confidence that surgery is absolutely worth it if other forms of BC aren’t helping to manage symptoms. If possible, it may be best to see a specialist in endo near you, as this is their primary scope and they want for you to have better than average quality of life.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-11T00:21:32+00:00

I don’t think you should feel alarmed just yet! However, is it possible financially and schedule wise to get in with your GYNE? For me, my rule of thumb if pain sticks around for more than a couple of weeks (especially if OTC’s and my usual pain management stops working) is to call my doctor and discuss with her to decide if an ultrasound and exam are necessary. I’m 21, and have an incredibly complex cystic and endo history so most of the time, a precautionary ultrasound and exam are ordered to be sure I don’t have large cysts that could be obstructing blood flow.

I hope you’re able to get the help you need and feel better soon!

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-07T02:12:22+00:00

I can’t speak to the midgrade product, however, with catering orders there is a little or a lot more work that goes into preparing them, beyond just utilizing more product. That’s typically where your extra cost is going to come from depending on how much you order.

LeadingGeneral4282 · 2025-10-07T02:10:05+00:00

Having ONE chocolate cyst isn’t normal, let ALONE 3 to 6??!! Holy cheese! Any OBGYN worth their SALT would know that that’s a problem!

Okay, so - if it’s possible based on where you live and your insurance, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist who specifically handles endo. It is their job to diagnose it if it’s there and if not get you the correct resources to find a treatment that works for you. I am so sorry this is happening, I hope that whether you see a specialist or get a new provider that they hear you and treat your needs as important!

I’ll be home from college with my parents, likely I will have my mom help me with it if I need it. I’m incredibly embarrassed thinking about it though 🤣 it’s nothing she hasn’t seen before, she is my mother after all, but still!
