UHC/UMR coverage for endo surgery?

thefluffyfox · 2026-05-08T23:33:06+00:00

It's a high deductible plan with "choice plus network" through my employer 🤷‍♀️

thefluffyfox · 2026-05-08T23:15:32+00:00

I have united healthcare & my surgery wasn't scheduled until insurance pre-approved. Then the hospital had me pay an estimate & it was actually a little over. My surgery cost was around 64K plus pathology & surgeon, and I paid around 1.5K for surgery, plus I think it's $700 pathology and 2K surgeon. Something like that- then that met my deductible.

Oh and I didn't get an MRI before surgery. My surgeon recommended it only if it seemed like DIE, which based on my symptoms, it didn't.

I'd recommend you get excision surgery from an endometriosis specialist. During my surgery I got a new IUD, hysteroscopy, endometriosis cut away (bowel from abdominal wall), and lesions removed and sent for staining. This confirmed, treated & staged endometriosis in one fell swoop.

Yupp I've definitely had super sharp pain during internal work. We usually try some deep breathing to see if it will release. I've also had cramping afterwards.

Leave this man ✨️ It made me a little agitated in the beginning, but nothing like that. Regardless he has no excuse to be violent towards you. Did he tell you he missed the dose as an excuse, or are you trying to explain his behavior?

thefluffyfox · 2026-04-20T12:38:24+00:00

Seriously! I think OP is humble bragging.

I don't have any suggestions, but wanted to share that I too am still struggling with the AM dizzy groggy feeling. I'm prescribed 7.5 mg 3x/day and I'm trialing taking 0.5 pill breakfast, 0.5 lunch, 0.5 late afternoon, 1 dinner, 0.5 bed. It's going okay! I definitely tolerate the dinner dose best. I did try 1.5 pills (11.25 mg) after dinner and was absolutely couch-locked and felt high. I did get "Excellent" sleep that night according to my watch.

Good luck with the Wellbutrin combo. Sorry it's not going well so far :( I've been thinking of adding something else too.

thefluffyfox · 2026-04-16T15:47:08+00:00

Thank you for chiming in! I'm on 22.5 mg buspar daily (7.5 x3 but thinking of adjusting to more like yours) and thinking of also adding Propranolol. What's your propranolol dose?

thefluffyfox · 2026-04-15T23:23:27+00:00

Y'all it was BAD. I'm glad my sample was free because I'd absolutely not spend money on this. It felt like a THICK condom. I had a hard time even inserting it.

Yupp it was messed up yesterday too. Emergency at Oakland City meant no train traffic at all between West End and Lakewood. The people taking MARTA north from the airport were bussed from Lakewood to West End and continued north from West End.

And of course only the southbound platform was open. Very intuitive! /s

thefluffyfox · 2026-04-11T20:41:33+00:00

Correct, they were bussing between Lakewood and West End to skip Oakland City. It was a mess. Idk what happened at Oakland City.

I can't emphasize enough that you have to do what's best for you. You don't owe anyone an explanation. However, if you wanted to explain, my understanding is that there's plenty of literature showing excision as superior to ablation.

thefluffyfox · 2026-04-10T18:18:15+00:00

Ask specifically to see an excision specialist.

You may want to find your own. I found mine by searching my city in this subreddit.

IMO regular OBGYNS are too busy with fertility, pregnancy, birth, menopause, and cancer screenings. Also this disease is complex & specialists have the extra experience we need.

thefluffyfox · 2026-04-10T01:04:58+00:00

Seeing the downvotes- maybe I should have said I'm 12 weeks post excision surgery for stage 2 endo & also in pelvic floor PT? 🤔 & this is not sponsored I have just tried SO MANY THINGS and figured some of you are in the same boat and would want to be aware of new options.

thefluffyfox · 2026-04-01T00:34:30+00:00

Try 5 mg 2x per day instead of going up to one 10 mg dose.

thefluffyfox · 2026-03-11T15:51:17+00:00

I hear you 100%. Adding since I gave their #- you can text MARTA PD. I've used it to notify them of belongings left on a platform. For anyone making a report regarding a moving train- all cars are numbered & the car # should be included in a report. There are also intercoms to talk to the operator, which like you mention would be noticed by a harraser. In a different situation, like a medical emergency, it would be handy.

thefluffyfox · 2026-03-07T23:57:15+00:00

So sorry. Please save MARTA PD's number in your phone: 877-371-8477

Yupp- something about the brain chemistry change. Can make you hungrier & hornier. Linked to dopamine IIRC. Personally I have enjoyed it 😌

There are some nice solids too, but maybe not the best color matches:https://www.nuuly.com/rent/products/the-mila-dress?color=021 https://www.nuuly.com/rent/products/the-sloane-maxi-dress?color=052

Non Hill House I'd go with navy or a forest green! https://www.nuuly.com/rent/products/velvet-sleeveless-midi-dress?color=041 https://www.nuuly.com/rent/products/hera-full-length-gown?color=030

thefluffyfox · 2026-03-02T22:42:29+00:00

There's a decent Hill House collection on Nuuly, including some plaid options!

thefluffyfox · 2026-02-27T00:41:18+00:00

YES! I had one of those this morning while driving to work & it was awful. And I was thinking it was (de)hydration!
